Are there some nice libraries (and if so, what are they) for automating website queries using Haskell.

Basically I want to get a form, fill in some values and get the results (and naturally, do this repeatedly).

I'm not sure whether you're looking for a web scraper or just a way to make GET/POST requests. In the latter case, there's Network.HTTP, or the Haskell libcurl bindings. In the former, you could look into HandsomeSoup, or one of the other HTML parsing libraries (I've never actually used these myself, so I can't recommend a specific one).
