I am looking at modifying an app to log into my bank, go to my account and download the history. This can be done to a very limited extend via texting the bank but all one recieves is the last 5 transactions. I need a whole months worth. Most banks have their own apps which do much of what I need but the main thing I want done. All I need is data retrevial.

After a casual browse, I did not see any examples specific for what I am trying to accomplished. Is there an example around showing how to located a directory and go down inside of that directory (all on a website)?

You need to use Firefox with either 'Firebug' or 'Live HTTP Headers' plugin to find the format of the 'Post' requests that are sent to the bank. With this data and HttpUtils2 you can construct your own requests, the final data retrieval will probably be a 'Get' request. The data will more then likely be formatted as an HTML page so you will have to parse it to get the data or there may be an option to get it as a csv or excel file.
