[links] Scripting Links

I am attempting the write a script to test netlogin web authentication using links.  There are many clunky gui test tools to do this, but I hoped that a cli based browser with javascript might be a better solution.

Process:
1) attempt to access a web page and you get redirected to the login page. (I need to verify the page content).  Would links -dump http:/www.bob.com work?
2) when a login page is reached a javascript login screen appears.  I need to be able to enter the user name and password in the auth window.  Then verify the original attempted web url is reached.

I do not see any documentation of cli commands such as links (-dump) on the Twibright page.  Is there documentation on all available args?

I noticed that some other flavors of links support browser scripting.  Is this what I am looking for.  Of course they do not support java script... so it doesn't matter.

Thank you for your time and patience.
Grant
