Every submit button has its own name and value set. When a user presses a
particular submit button, that button's name and value will be passed on.

You can very easily try this out by making a web page with a form like
that and set the submit type to GET which will let you see all the
'name=content' constructs in the URL.

I once initiated the work now found in perl/formfind.pl which is supposed
to display detailed info about all forms of a web page and everything
needed to use curl to submit it.

Anyone is welcome to continue that work, or bring something entirely new.
