Dear list,
I have a form which have 2 input field "Roll number" and "comments" ;
using formfind command I get the following
```````````````````
--- FORM report. Uses POST to URL "index.php"
Input: NAME="go" VALUE="1" (HIDDEN)
Input: NAME="roll_no" VALUE="10" (TEXT)
Textarea: NAME="message"
Button: "Submit" (SUBMIT)
--- end of FORM
--- FORM report. Uses GET to URL "<form name=copy>"
Button: "Copy to clipboard" (BUTTON)
Textarea: NAME="txt"
--- end of FORM
````````````````````
The roll number always have 10 as default, and there is a text-area to
input comment. How can I use wget with --post-data option to send the
values ? And how can I use wget for [ Button: "Submit" ] ?
Based on the manual of wget, I would try:
wget --post-data 'go=1&roll_no=10&message=your_message_here' http://www.thesite.com/index.php
You could do the same with curl
curl -d "go=1&roll_no=10&message=your message here" http://site.url/file
For some reason, I favor curl for stuff like this.
I use it a lot, for posting to my WP install, tumblr, posterous,
statusnet, etc., etc. (scripts on site in my sig for all the above).
