XMLHTTP to Click on a Link ?

[Gadrin]

I wanted to automate the process of clicking on "MARK FORUM READ" link of a website:

http://forums.mysql.com/index.php

If you have an account on the above site, each forum has a mark all read link.

Is it possible using XMLHTTP or wGET ? I'd prefer wGET.
I've tried loading the cookies and saving cookies but it just zapped the cookies file.

A typical link looks like:

http://forums.mysql.com/index.php?3,markread,0
