I have started writing an application that gets in a certain website and gets the information in the pages in a nicer cleaner way. My first problem is getting authenticated so I could download the pages. This is the site: <https://www.ims.tau.ac.il/Tal/>.
It is in Hebrew but the top form goes (top to bottom): username, id number, password.

When I fill the form out and click the SUBMIT button I press F12 and see the POST message:

```

I tried to do it by myself from pieces of code I found on other posts in the forum but I couldn't get it to work:

```
public class MyTauRobot implements Runnable {

    private static final String TAG = "MyTauActivity";

    String name;
    String id;
    String pass;
    String result;

        public MyTauRobot() {
        super();
    }

    public MyTauRobot(String name, String id, String pass) {
        super();
        this.name = name;
        this.id = id;
        this.pass = pass;
    }

    @Override
    public void run() {
        HttpClient postClient = new DefaultHttpClient();
        HttpPost httpPost = new HttpPost("https://www.ims.tau.ac.il/Tal/Login_Chk.aspx?rk=");
        HttpResponse response;

        try {

            List<NameValuePair> nameValuePairs = new ArrayList<NameValuePair>(2);
            nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("user", name));
            nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("id_num", id));
            nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("pass", pass));

            httpPost.setEntity(new UrlEncodedFormEntity(nameValuePairs));

            response = postClient.execute(httpPost);

            if(response.getStatusLine().getStatusCode() == 200) {
                HttpEntity entity = response.getEntity();

            }           

            Log.v(TAG,EntityUtils.toString(response.getEntity())); 

        } catch (Exception e) {
            Log.d(TAG, e.toString());
            Log.d(TAG, e.getCause().toString());
            }
        }
}

```

When I run it I get an exception.

```
org.apache.http.client.ClientProtocolException
11-19 22:42:48.758: D/MyTauActivity(726): org.apache.http.ProtocolException: Invalid redirect 
URI: Default.aspx?id=&rk=&src=&dt=20/11/2011 12:42:48 AM

```

UPDATE:
I still get an exception but I've found out that atlist it seems to be logging in right
the exception comes because the redirect is relative so i get "main.aspx?..."
instead of "http://www.tau.ac.il/Tal/Sys/main.aspx?..."

How do i fix it?

```
org.apache.http.ProtocolException: Invalid redirect URI: Sys/Main.aspx?id=021653167&sys=tal&rk=&dt=25/11/2011 8:50:56 AM
