Answer 1

Checking the source of hotfile.com website you can see, that the login form is defined like this:

<form action="/login.php" method="post">

So to write an account checker you need to "post" to the login.php url. What you did is a "get" request.

As Raffael said, you have to use post instead of get, also there's hidden field called: returnto, I usually do that with help of indy idHttp component as following:

var
 Sl :  TStringList;
begin
  Sl := TStringList.Create;
  Sl.Add('user=myuser');
  Sl.Add('pass=mypassword');
  sl.Add('returnto=/');

  Memo1.Text :=  IdHTTP1.Post('http://www.hotfile.com/login.php',Sl);

  FreeAndNil(sl);
end;

also be sure to make idHttp property HandleRedirects = True
