how to use an automated user agent to talk to a shibboleth SP

[Andrew Ragusa]

Hi Guys

I'm looking to have an automated script pull data from a shibboleth
protected web-service.  Does anyone have examples on a robust mechanism
for this?  We have lots of people using their own IdP to talk to our SP
and so want something that will mostly just work for everyone, or most
users.

Thanks
