The idea behind using curl to automate a form is to identify the pieces of information the form needs, and then supplying those directly to the server through the curl command line.

Before you can use curl to automate web forms, you first need to be familiar with HTML, particularly forms and how they work. You should also have at least a basic understanding of HTTP and CGI concepts. A good resource for learning about these and other web standards and programming is
