Hi, I would like to perform queries using DA to search a subscription based research site that requires a login and password. the site is
questia.com

Is this possible? I have already created a search set and input all the login info in the sites tab of the edit search sets window but can not login to Questia.

Thanks
Stan

the site uses a form (and cookies) to login but only standard HTTP authentication is supported right now.

Is this still the case?
Namely, I would like to know whether I can search a University website that requires user name and password. I have tried but without success…

Plugins can now use HTTP posts/forms & cookies too but writing such a plugin requires a lot of work (and fiddling with the URLs and HTML code of the website).
