Autodownload/login, HttpServlet programming

I need to create a program which will login to a webapp, go to a specific webpage, and download a file. The program will run as a daily cron. I really don't know where to start though. I imagine there is some lower level HttpServlet programming involved. Can anyone give me some advice on where to start and how to achieve this?

Thank you

There's no servlet programming involved at all. Servlets would run in an application server. However you want to write something that runs as a client and accesses data from a server.I would suggest using Jakarta's HttpClient instead of trying to write the HTTP client code
