HTTPS login from inside Java

I am working on information aggregators that search web sites for specific information and present that as a collection. This is a project for personal use and all programming is done in Java. I require a piece of Java coding that allows me to login to websites using HTTPS login procedures, username and password. The requested program (part of) must be able to login to a website so that the rest of the program, that i write myself, can access the pages of the website. There may also be some HTTP / HTTPS redirection involved and or cookies used. NOTE: this is not about hacking or unauthorised access. I have valid usernames and passwords for the sites i wish to visit. The code must be adaptable to any website but acceptance will be done on 2 specific sites. On request i will provide the adresses of the websites also a template Java program in which the requested code is to be inserted. ## Deliverables 1) Complete and fully-functional working program(s) in executable form as well as complete source code of all work done. 2) Deliverables must be in ready-to-run condition, as follows: A Java source code file.
