[keycloak-dev] generic cli sso utility

I wonder if it's possible to have CLI utility, which is able to read 
HTML with the form and challenge user based on that? For example once it 
receives the HTML like this:

<form>
   Username: <input name="username" />
   Password: <input name="password" type="password" />
</form>

Then in command line, user will be challenged for username and password.

I am not sure if it's doable in practice and how much work it is. Sounds 
like re-implementing browser in command line. But maybe something like 
this exists already?

BTV. Some things will never work in CLI in my opinion. For example:
- Registration with captcha
- TOTP setup
- Broker login (but hopefully some brokers offer alternatives)
