https url connection and form based authentication

Hello,

Hope you can help me here. I need to make https URL connection from java class to a servlet. I am able to make the connection but all I am getting is the html of the login page (the servlet is a protected resource).

Do you know how can I programatically by pass the login page and then access the functionality.

I tried sending the user-id and password as query parameters, but it didn't work.

Thanks in advance.

Prasad.
