Another solution I've used in messing w/ ASPX is robobrowser.

For example:

def auth(mailbox, password):
    browser = RoboBrowser(history=False)
    browser.open(oc_auth_uri)

    signin = browser.get_form(id='aspnetForm')
    signin['SubLoginControl:mailbox'].value = mailbox
    signin['SubLoginControl:password'].value = password
    signin['SubLoginControl:javascriptTest'].value = 'true'
    signin['SubLoginControl:btnLogOn'].value = 'Logon'
    signin['SubLoginControl:webLanguage'].value = 'en-US'
    signin['SubLoginControl:initialLanguage'].value = 'en-US'
    signin['SubLoginControl:errorCallBackNumber'].value = 'Entered+telephone+number+contains+non-dialable+characters.'
    signin['SubLoginControl:cookieMailbox'].value = 'mailbox'
    signin['SubLoginControl:cookieCallbackNumber'].value = 'callbackNumber'
    signin['SubLoginControl:serverDomain'].value = ''

    browser.submit_form(signin)
    return browser

Note: You may need to update the form to add hidden form fields such as __VIEWSTATE and friends to the form prior to submitting. See this post for further info.
