How do I know what type of site it is?
|
In the HTML page, If the "method" attribute of the "form" element is set to GET, then you have a HTTP GET request. If it is set to POST, then you have a HTTP POST. Some sites will except either depending on their coding. But if a site expects HTTP parameters to be one or the other, then you must match whatever the HTML web page is doing.

And how do I know what HTTP web request functions are available to me? What are those?

There are a number of HTTP API's. Which one you use depends on the language you choose. Most languages have about 3 diferent options when it comes to HTTP gets. Point being, you need to select a language.

A user can vote every 12 hours, so I don't think I need to change my IP if I want to vote every 12 hours

Thats good. If it isn't blocked, then you should have no problems automating a voting system.

I have writen this kinda stuff a number of ways. Its sounds like a simple task. I'd estimate its a 1 hour job.
Ive posted code to a similar problem here. The code logs into myspace and navigates to the bio page, where the text is changes. The method would be the same for a automated vote system

I have posted code to log into a site using 4 different methods, but I cant find it ATM. Sorry. But if you detail your language of choice and the site, im sure a solution will be provided.
