ValidateUser

Use this web method to validate the username and password of an eQSL.cc user. At present, UserName is the callsign, but this will change in the near future, as eQSL.cc implements some changes. Warning: Do not allow this to be used to attempt to hack usernames. We log all accesses and have automated systems to detect patterns of fraudulent use!

An HTML string is returned that you can parse or display. Look for the word 'OK' for success, or 'Error' for failure. 'Information' may be returned if the user is valid.
