in some cases you can use a url of the form:
http://user@host:www.blah.com/somepage.cgi
though that's probably less likely to work these days.

you could also write a simple class to do it by hand. i've done it in the past but there's not much point.

i'd recommend using the httpclient project from apache, which is a simple way to handle browser-like functionality from code:
http://jakarta.apache.org/httpcomponents/httpclient-3.x/

But i couldn't check because i don't know the response of the server if I use POST or get.

@47108e

Here is the response of the server ? What for a problem is that ?

The code :

PClient twitter;
PRequest requete_twitter;

twitter= new PClient(this,"http://www.twitter.com");
requete_twitter = twitter.POST("http://LOGIN:PASSWORD@twitter.com:80/statuses/update.xml",var2,val2);
noLoop();

And I can't use the method readChar. It is in the reference... !
