[ale] Ways to script a web browser session

I'm needing to automate some extensive interaction with a Web site.

I need to be able to enter a username and password, hit links. fill in
form fields, initiate a file download, and give the downloaded file a
name of my choosing.

Is telnet to port 80 and expect the way to go, or is there a better
"industrially correct" way?
