you can use sockets in PHP, a good example would be the second example on 
the php souckets page[0]

you just craft your HTTP packet(s) and send and receive data

if you don't know HTTP then you can use is the source for information on 
HTTP/1.0 which is rfc1945[1] and rfc2616[2] which is on HTTP/1.1

if you still have problems you can download a sniffer such as ethereal[3] or 
a light sniffer such as smartsniff[4] and capture the packets as you process 
to login and download the CVS, then you'll see what packets you need to send 
and you'll see what the server will send back, so you'll know how you need 
to process the data
