Answer 1

You can use javascript 'injection' to control your site. By 'injection' I mean that once your gmail page is loaded you then construct a url in the form

javascript:var Email = document.getElementById('Email');Email.value='User.Name';

javascript:var Password = document.getElementById('Passwd');Password.value='YourPassword';

javascript:var SignIn = document.getElementById('signIn');SignIn.click();

or you can throw it all onto one URL

javascript:var Email = document.getElementById('Email');Email.value='User.Name';var Password = document.getElementById('Passwd');Password.value='YourPassword';var SignIn = document.getElementById('signIn');SignIn.click();

Your code would then look something like:

MyBrowser := CreateOleObject('InternetExplorer.Application') as IWebBrowser2; 
MyBrowser.Navigate('http://www.gmail.com');

myUserName := 'User.Name';
myPassword := 'password';
loginURL:='javascript:var Email = document.getElementById(''Email'');Email.value=''' + myUserName + ''';var Password = document.getElementById(''Passwd'');Password.value=''' + myPassword + ''';var SignIn = document.getElementById(''signIn'');SignIn.click();';

MyBrowser.Navigate(loginURL);

Answer 2

Try using TWebBrowser instead. TWebBrowser encapsulates the IWebBrowser2 interface.

Here's a link to an example showing how to do a POST with TWebBrowser.

If you use the Indy HTTP and SSL components, you'll have more flexibility.

Send data to url

MyBrowser.Navigate('http://mysite.com', Flags, EmptyParam, PostData, Headers); 

and you need to fill the PostData and Headers as in the link below http://forums.devshed.com/showpost.php?p=2408145&postcount=2
