lynx-dev feeding input to lynx-ssl on stdin?

I am trying to use a script and lynx-ssl to logon to
and navigate an ssl webserver. One attempt I have
tried follows:

script.sh | lynx https://wwws.sslserver.com

script.sh:

sleep 10s
echo 
echo 123123
echo 3434
echo 
..

You may get the idea. At this point, I am trying to feed a 
down-arrow, a username, a password, and a carrage-return.
Why you may ask? Because I am at my wit's end. I have tried
to cat a script, i.e., cat script | lynx <URL>. I even tried
using the -post_data switch but didn't really know what format
to put the scripted data into (some sort of HTML tags I am
sure). 

I see that there were threads a year and a half ago on this
but I don't see any conclusive answer. Can anyone help?

Thanks!
