http POST, still not working
Date: Tue, 08 Oct 2002 10:50:14 -0500
OK, I always thought I could duplicate any browser thing with curl, but
this asp server has so far thwarted me.
For a while I was trying this to set my cookies:
curl --dump-header ~/headers -d "name=username&passwd=password"
http://weareit/support/login.asp
followed by:
curl -v -b ~/headers -d "stuff" http://weareit/workitem...
and it kept redirecting me to login. I eventually realized it was
sending two cookies and this procedure wasn't handling that. So with
both cookies in hand, now I get the dreaded "Object moved" and it
redirects me to the same url I was using!
I have verified I am setting the same form fields, using
cgi-bin/post-query and also changing POST to GET. (In anticipation, yes
I've tried user-agent and referer tricks and read The Art Of Scripting
HTTP Request Using Curl)
Here is my current attempt:
curl -v -b "ASPSESSIONIDQGGQGLZC=DDDGBCGCLOKPDINKAEJIEMMI;
WeAreIT%5Fuser=profileorg=118&lastname=Davenport&profiledept=241&profile%5Fid=525&middlename=×tamp=10%2F7%2F2002+4%3A26%3A52+PM&profileteam=485&username=kdaven&profileemail=kyle%5Fdavenport%40compusa%2Ecom&securitylevel=1&firstname=Kyle"
-d
"action=insertTime&menuOption=&intProfile_id=525&month=08&day=20&year=2002&system=538&workitem=11200&activity=562&task=834&hour=8&hourfraction=.0&description=support"
weareit/workitem/workitem_time.asp
Here is the debug output:

Unfortunately, I do not have access to the asp server. Any help much
appreciated. Please cc me.
