curl-users
can't get POST to work - please help
Date: Fri, 12 Nov 2004 12:22:23 -0800
Hi,
I'm trying to emulate the post to the following web page using cURL:
https://ftp.businessbanking.cibc.com/template/login
$ curl "-V"
curl 7.12.1 (ALPHA-HP-VMS) libcurl/7.12.1 OpenSSL/0.9.7d
Protocols: ftp gopher telnet dict ldap http file https ftps
Features: NTLM SSL
The best I can come up with is the following: (VMS requires the weird
quotation mark syntax)
$ curl "-duser=bob&password=fish&switch=log%20In" "-A Mozilla/4.0
(compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1)" -k -L -i -v -b cookie.jar -c
cookie.jar https://ftp.businessbanking.cibc.com/template/login
Using my web browser, this returns a page identical to the original page
with an 'ERROR: Login failed' message included. With cURL there is no
'ERROR: Login failed' message, so it seems that it's not even trying to
log me in.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks,
John
