It's difficult. What I normally do in these cases is to use something
like wireshark (ethereal) to trace the requests going to the server, and
see if I can just grab one of the pages without going through the whole
series of screens that the user does. If that is not possible, then the
only way forward is to write a script to mimic the behaviour of your
browser, which can be quite tricky to do - getting everything right with
dynamic URL's, Javascript "onLoad()" functions, cookies etc. can be a lot 
of work.

It isn't something that Hobbit can do automatically.
