_x000D_ _x000D_ After searching around a lot, I still can't find the answer to this question: Is it possible to login to a 3rd party website using GWT when the website is password protected? I'm asking this because I would like to write a Google application that combines information from different websites (My news account, my forums accounts, etc.) ... like a kind of dashboard. I have no problem doing it for non-password protected websites. But for websites where you have to login and handle cookies, I'm just lost. I found this very interesting tutorial that explains how to do it for Java: http://www.mkyong.com/java/how-to-automate-login-a-website-java-example/ But I can't figure out how to do it with GWT. Any help will be greatly apreciated.

_x000D_ I thought about using RequestBuilder to send the authentication requests, and follow the tutorial you pointed to. But after more consideration I guess the Same-Origin-Policy is going to prevent you to do ajax calls to another website from the client side in some browser. You also have to make sure that your domain is in HTTPS before calling remote HTTPS url. And you might run into other problems if you follow that path... Conclusion: I suggest making those calls from the server using plain old java code.
