[Gambas-user] Web application - CURL and Cookies?

I have a need to develop a web app that can do the following:
1) interact with a web server via http
2) login to the site and maintain a session via cookies
3) parse the html

There is a large selection of libraries that can do this in Java, but i'm
much more familiar with VB6/Gambas. As far as i understand, the solutions
are:
1) gb.net.curl
2) gb.net.curl
3) gb.xml

I have read that curl can handle cookies, but have no idea how to do it in
Gambas - are there any code samples? gb.xml is based on libxml2 and i have
read that libxml2 can also handle html...but again, i cannot find any
information on how to do this in Gambas via gb.xml as the documentation is
very incomplete. Can anyone confirm that Gambas is capable of producing my
web app, or would i be better off using Java?
