Trying to scrape a calendar type site with events.  One must be logged in to view the events.  Can this type of password protected page be scraped?

Yes, it should be possible as per the documentation.

Could you be a bit more specific? I've been through the documentation already and could not understand any solution.

You can either post to the login form, by finding the name of the username and password form elements in the page and specify it on the target tab.

Or use the wizard to do a one off action to type into the textboxes and click the login button.

The wizard may not work behind the login wall so you might have to write those scrape instructions manually.
