After a half-year of experience of posting/replying to Facebook messages i came to the need to do that automatically, at least partly. The first problem i had encountered is that i can't login to it from within my own program.
Q1. I would appreciate any suggestions on to how that can be done. Q2. Currently I can't understand what is happening after FORM Submit button is pressed: <form id="login_form" onsubmit="return Event.__inlineSubmit(this,event)" action="https://www.facebook.com/login.php?login_attempt=1" method="POST"> - if there will be a function within onsubmit field, then i may investigate it; but there is Event - i simply can not find where to look for code that is executed on submit. - i had an experience in using HTTP POST with successful login results, where fields with id="email" and id="pass" were sent to the server along with their values; therefore i was expecting the similar thing to be done in case with HTTPS POST, but it doesn't work... What i have to consider to make a proper HTTPS POST request to server? |

facebookmy, the url you provided "http://www.facebookloginhelp.net/" covers issues with facebook manual (by user) login. I had found nothing about login by software here.
The second link of you isn't working - why you can't delete it? As for the third link - i would not be asking here if i was just to use facebook as a user |

A friend has suggested me to use javascripts for firefox. So far i had written the script for GreaseMonkey that successfully logged me to facebook. I can now use this approach further.
But, still, i am wanting to find a way to login and then interact with facebook through HTTP requests. Because, i think, it will work faster and less resource demanding. May be i am wrong... I am sorry if i had chosen the wrong thread - i am still thinking that HTTP itself is something as a base on which all can be built, if i want not to use browser. Therefore i had put a question here. Is there some tutorial exists that covers my needs to interact with a general site? |

- if there will be a function within onsubmit field, then i may investigate it; but there is Event - i simply can not find where to look for code that is executed on submit. I'm not familiar with this "Event"-syntax myself. Could it possibly be a call to a function called "__inlineSubmit()"? Maybe the form submits using Ajax as well. Can you login to Facebook if javascript is disabled in the browser? |

Though Facebook notifies about disabled javascript, login is working. Facebook's feed works fine, but facebook's applications require enabled javascript.
It is certainly a call to "__inlineSubmit()" but i had not find the way to examine this function content... |
