Daniel,

as it is, the busybox wget doesn't seem to support cookies, so, the whole
idea fails at the start, oh well.

(and, on the next step it uses 'links' to dump HTML to text, so that would
fail next)

anyhow, if I have the script on a remote linux host, what's best way to
execute that on demand from Android ?

----------------
$ busybox wget --post-data='username=xxx&password=yyy&_action_login=L
ogin&_module=login&_template=login&_action=_login'
--save-cookies=my-cookies --k
