I have seen examples using Calc using tricks similar to these:

http://www.oooforum.org/forum/viewtopic.phtml?t=3D4103

In these examples, there was no need to login. The important point is=20
that they simply loaded the page. I am not aware of a simple way to get=20
the web contents without loading it into a document.

My fear is that the login step will fail unless you are able to pass the=20
credentials as part of the initial http request.

I expect that the rest of the task is easy if you can solve the first par=
t.

Interested in seeing any solutions that you find or create.
