URL check

[fab]

Is there a way to peform a URL check on a page that requires a username/password? The webpage has seperate username/password fields that need to be filled in before logging into the system. The password is encrypted when entered. How can this be done? Thanks.

Its possible but you need to know how your server processes that username and password.
You may contact your web server administrator and ask how should look HTTP/HTTPS request. Or, if you have some knowlege about HTTP protocol, check HTML code of that form. You will see what method you should use (POST or GET), name of the fields (e.g. "uname" for username and "upswd" for password), address of the script that proceeds request (e.g. "http://www.mywebserver.com/cgi-bin/login.php"), etc.

Thanks. I'll have our web administrator take a look. So it is possible to check content on an https page that requires a login? I wasn't clear in the original post that this is an https page. thanks again.

Its possible but with some restrictions. You should use URL test that supports HTTPS protocol (HTTP test supports only HTTP protocol) but URL test does not support POST requests, only GET requests.
