How to post a form with curl, lesson #1:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Dig out all the <input> tags in the form that you want to fill in. (There's
|
||||||
|
a perl program called formfind.pl on the curl site that helps with this).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If there's a "normal" post, you use -d to post. -d takes a full "post
|
||||||
|
string", which is in the format
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<variable1>=<data1>&<variable2>=<data2>&...
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The 'variable' names are the names set with "name=" in the <input> tags, and
|
||||||
|
the data is the contents you want to fill in for the inputs. The data *must*
|
||||||
|
be properly URL encoded. That means you replace space with + and that you
|
||||||
|
write weird letters with %XX where XX is the hexadecimal representation of
|
||||||
|
the letter's ASCII code.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Example:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
(page located at http://www.formpost.com/getthis/
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<form action="post.cgi" method="post">
|
||||||
|
<input name=user size=10>
|
||||||
|
<input name=pass type=password size=10>
|
||||||
|
<input name=id type=hidden value="blablabla">
|
||||||
|
<input name=ding value="submit">
|
||||||
|
</form>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
We want to enter user 'foobar' with password '12345'.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
To post to this, you enter a curl command line like:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
curl -d "user=foobar&pass=12345&id=blablabla&dig=submit" (continues)
