Title: Design Spider to read information from websites, store results in database
Description:
I rent timeshares, spend a lot of time manually logging into timeshare websites to view available units and copy/pasting the available units to a word doc, spreadsheet, or access database.

I'd like a program to log into a website and perform these activities for me, saving the results in either a csv text file so I may import the file into a SQL or Access database, or even add the results directly into the Access database.
- Open source program
- read from a table for the login information and website in question
- Ideally populate a temporary table in the SQL database
- Bid an option where the same program will flag previous records in the SQL database in a main table and change their status from Available to Expired (but ignore records which I flagged as Rented)., delete all data from the temporary table, and also prompt and execute copying data from the temporary table to the main table.
- Capable of cycling the website search until all search criterion have been queried and search results stored.  If necessary a table in my SQL database can be used to supply the search criterion required by the website
- If challenge questions are used by the website, prompt the user to enter the challenge questions (such as the GUI challenge questions).
