HTML Page Refresh and Session

I am in a confusion with our application . I am passing username and password in the URL

like

http://mysite.com/login?userid=abc&password=test

this is taking me to the login page ( asks for credentials) and again if I hit the browser with simply using keyboard enter key on the same URL or Contrl+F5 it works fine ( It take me to the welcome page of the user) . So hitting the same URL working fine .

Not sure why the second time it is working fine . But with that what I did was in a simple HTML file I wrote the below two lines ( I just want to automate those two hits )

<META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" CONTENT="0;URL=http://mysite.com/login?userid=abc&password=test">
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" CONTENT="0;URL=http://mysite.com/login?userid=abc&password=test">

so this loads the page twice and my assumption was it should take to the user welcome page . since I am loading it twice . But again takes me the login page . Again simple enter and it works fine .

Please advise me how to automate this two step process in a simple HTML or in PHP or in any other programing language .

Thanks for your help

Regards

Kiran

it sounds like the code that handles auto login is only firing off on post-back. I would investigate what the conditions of this code firing off are.

login.html

<form action="auth.php" method="POST">
   <input name="username" value="" />
   <input name="password" value="" />

   <input type="submit" value="login" />
</form>

auth.php

if($_POST['username] == 'abc' && $_POST['password'] == 'test')
{
   //redirect to welcome page
}

of course you should check username and password a little bit more professional than this but i think is enough to understand.

if you just need to request an url twice maybe what you're looking for is curl, php documentation
