getting cookies and SSL in PHP

[jpgonzalezgarcia]

hi. i am trying to make a script that will extract info from a
protected
page on ebay, which you can view only by logging in, which requires
SSL 443.

1. get the url
2. get the login screen
3. make the user login to its account using SSL
4. taking cookies of that
5. show the secured page i want, by throwing back the cookies to the
server
6. take info from the code
7. process it...

i would like to act as sort of a proxy. how do i do for steps 2 to 5?

thanks
jp

Without ebay's permission you're likely to get blocked from accessing
it. ebay takes a dim view of this.

If you want to do it without getting blocked, check with ebay. They can
give you permission as well as code to help you do it (and perhaps a
"back door".

As Jerry states ebay takes a dim view on doing this. Ensure that what you
want to do is not covered by their api http://developer.ebay.com/common/api
