C/C++ Question: how to connect to a website and enter a password
So my school uses an online service which lets you check grades. I want to create something that would automatically log on and then interpret the web page so you could view your grades without actually going to the website, know when your grade has been changed, etc. It will be out of the way and just give notifications much like when you receive an instant message in pidgin. I just need to know how to do the internet part in C++ or C. Thanks for any help!

You can use the wget system call to read a web page and save it to a file. Then you can analyze that file to your little heart's content.
Sometimes, real fast is almost as good as real time.
