iPhone > Submitting a web form, handle cookies

I'm not at all sure where to get started with the following. Bascially the scenario Is, from my iPh开发者_高级运维one app I want to be able to login to a web form (via username/password combo) and perform another action. I want the process to be able to handle session persistence via cookies.

My first thoughts were to look at going down the cURL route as I have done similiar with Python/PHP. So basically is there a viable alternative in the Foundation Framework or is my best choice to look at compiling my own cURL framework?

Any help greatly appreciated.
