I'm willing to use Perl or whatever else would make it easier...
And I need to check with the friend I'm doing this for, but as far as I
know it's form based auth (seems to be the trend these days), rather
than HTTP.

It depends whether the page uses HTTP or form based auth. If it's form
based you'll essentially have to write a little web robot that goes
through the steps of logging on via the form and then going to the
page you're interested in. Does this have to be a pure Cocoa solution
or could you use, say, Perl?
