I would like to read a page programmatically with an ASP.NET intranet site.
I am using forms authentication. No matter what I have tried, the login
screen always comes back because the web server itself knows nothing about
the authentication information already stored away. I admit that I am a
little bit clueless about this whole process, so any info would help. I
have read where people say that you need to pass a cookie, using a cookie
container, but I'm not sure how exactly that is done and what cookie to
pass. I'm using tickets when a comes in under the login screen.

Will post the code later, but for now, just wondering if someone has a clear
consice example (or at least an explanation) of what I have to do to get
past the forms authentication?
