I am looking for an application that can do the following

a) Programmatically auto login to a page(login.asxp) using HttpWebResponse by using already specified username and password.

b) Detect the redirect URL if the login is successful.

c) Submit another form (settings.aspx) to update certain fields in the database.

The required coding needs to be using asp.net

The application needs to complete this entire process in the same session cookie.
