Nowadays, most websites make use of CAPTCHA to prevent automated Form
submission. Can someone please give me examples of how automated Form
submission can be achieved?

It's not that I intend to do some nefarious activities; rather I don't
understand how can automated Form submission be done other than the
website developer coding it (for e.g. using JavaScript to
automatically post a Form, say, after 2 minutes).

Thanks,

Ron

Programs written in C, C++, Java or anything else can send http or
https transmissions. After all, that's exactly what a web browser
does, right? So you write one that, instead of taking orders from a
user and sending the requests that he directs, sends out what it
wants. Being a computer program, it can do this thousands of times a
minute.

If you're a programmer, this kind of thing would not be much of a
challenge.
