Brief Summary:

vWorker.com reminder: You MAY NOT post the final solution for this (and any) project before your bid is accepted and funds are fully escrowed. Anyone who does may have their account permanently suspended. However, you CAN post:

On programming projects: A prototype or functional demo...as long as source code is not provided.
On graphics projects: A watermarked and low-resolution version of the work.

I am needing help with a personal project that I would be grateful for any assistance.

I was wondering if it is possible for my webserver (Apollo Hosting running on Linux) to log in to the specific site ccs.coair.com and log in using my username and password. After it is logged in, it will go to a specific page in the site, and copy the content of the page to a file on the server.

ccs.coair.com uses asp technology with a session key for user log in.

Any information on how to do this will be appreciated.

Requirements Interview Answers:
To help you bid more accurately, the employer was interviewed about the requirements for this project. Below are their answers. Untitled Page

Project Type:

What kind of work do you need done?
Software related (Includes desktop applications and internet websites)

Project Parts:

What do you want the worker to do on this project?

Requirements:	The worker will analyze the problem and propose a software-based solution to the problem.
Programming:	The worker will take the requirements and translate them into the language of the computer (and test it).

Req. Doc. Type:

What kind of documentation do you want for this project?
Informal documentation - As the employer talks back and forth about the project with the worker, those conversations become the requirements.Remember to communicate ALL of the details of your project on the vWorker.com site. If you don't, and there is a dispute, then important details of the contract will not be documented and cannot be taken into account in arbitration. If you feel you MUST go offsite (for example, using the phone or IM) then afterwards post everything onsite and get the other party to post that they agree to those contractual terms.

Program Type:

What kind of software should the worker create (and/or install)?

An internet web-site: This software runs on a web server and users will access it using their internet browser.
A desktop or server program: This software runs on a user's own PC/workstation, or on a server.

Modeling another site:

Do you wish to model another site? No

Size of website:

How many pages need to be created/edited in this website?
Exactly 1.

Programming Language:

What programming language(s) do you want your website written in?
I don't know what language (and need the worker's assistance to suggest it).

Server Hosting Environment:

What is your server hosting environment?
I have a server at a 3rd party hosting company.
The name of the hosting company is: Apollo Hostin
The server's shared/dedicated status is: Shared with other people.

Component Compatibility Protection:
Sometimes a worker may create features on the website that rely on componentswhich work fine on their own server, but won't work with your 3rd party hosting company's server. There are many reasons for this including version incompatibility, restricted permissions, etc... vWorker.com normally requires that the worker verify in advance that your 3rd party hosting provider will support the components. If they do not, then they are responsible for any incompatibilities, rather than you. Do you want this protection on your project?
No, I will be responsible for any components of the final solution that do not work with my hosting company.

Server Hosting Environment:

Will the worker develop "live" on your server?
No. The worker is responsible for creating their own development and/or qc environment.

Database:

Legal:

1) I require complete and fully-functional working program(s) in executable form as well as complete source code of all work done (so that I may modify it in the future).
2) Deliverables must be in ready-to-run condition as follows (depending on the nature of the deliverables):
2a) If there are any server-side deliverables (intended to only exist in one place in the Buyer's environment) then they must be installed by the Seller in ready-to-run condition (unless specified elsewhere by the Buyer).
2b) All other software (including but not limited to any desktop software or software the buyer intends to distribute) must include a software installation package that will install the software in ready-to-run condition on the platform(s) specified in this bid request (unless specified elsewhere by the Buyer).
3) All deliverables will be considered "work made for hire" under U.S. Copyright law. Buyer will receive exclusive and complete copyrights to all work purchased.
3b) No part of the deliverable may contain any copyright restricted 3rd party components (including GPL, GNU, Copyleft, etc.) unless all copyright ramifications are explained AND AGREED TO by the buyer on the site per the seller's Seller Legal Agreement.

Other Requirements:

All deliverables must be uploaded to vWorker.com before the deadline(s) for this project...with no exceptions. If this contract makes it impossible for a competent person to do this, then do not start this project...but instead alert vWorker.com of an un-arbitratable, illegal project.
Remember that contacting the other party outside of the site (by email, phone, etc.) on all business projects < $500 (before the employer's money is escrowed) is a violation of both the employer and worker agreements. vWorker.com monitors all site activity for such violations and can instantly expel transgressors on the spot, so we thank you in advance for your cooperation. If you notice a violation please help out the site and report it. Thanks for your help.
