Hi Jack, coincidentally I had just spoke with you on the phone last week.
You don't mention what "network appliance" you are working with, but
the Sveasoft Talisman firmware uses Busybox so you can just log in
with Shell or Terminal. Actually the browser interface is a GUI to
Busybox so maybe your browser interface is the same.
Browser input scripting is notoriously unreliable since every browser
reacts differently to the same commands due to various security
schemes. Sorry I can't advise on that.
Keychain scripting has gotten more difficult if not impossible with
respect to browsers ever since the 10.4 release. Previous versions had
a separate keychain database entry for every Safari URL. Now all you
get is one entry that allows Safari to unlock a hashfile or some such
scheme. I have even stopped scripting APF logins from Keychain since
it is always changing and breaking scripts.
Sorry to be so negative but what you are trying to do is theoretically
possible yet practically impossible. Even if it WERE possible, it
would be unreliable due to rapidly evolving browser security systems.
