Trouble with a form
Date: Wed, 23 May 2012 12:41:02 +0100 (BST)
I'm having trouble getting curl to submit a form designed to upload a
file. I know basically what I should be doing, but can't seem to get
the details right, the server just presents the same form back as a
response.
The form is as follows (edited down to the basics):
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head></head>
<body>
<div>
<form name="aspnetForm" method="post" action="upload.aspx" id="aspnetForm" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input type="hidden" name="__EVENTTARGET" id="__EVENTTARGET" value="" />
<input type="hidden" name="__EVENTARGUMENT" id="__EVENTARGUMENT" value="" />
<input type="hidden" name="__VIEWSTATE" id="__VIEWSTATE" value="/SOME_SECRET_VALUE" />
<script type="text/javascript">
//<![CDATA[
var theForm = document.forms['aspnetForm'];
if (!theForm) {
theForm = document.aspnetForm;
}
function __doPostBack(eventTarget, eventArgument) {
if (!theForm.onsubmit || (theForm.onsubmit() != false)) {
theForm.__EVENTTARGET.value = eventTarget;
theForm.__EVENTARGUMENT.value = eventArgument;
theForm.submit();
}
}
//]]>
</script>
<input type="hidden" name="__EVENTVALIDATION" id="__EVENTVALIDATION" value="/ANOTHER_SECRET_VALUE" />
<a id="ctl00_ContentPlaceHolderMain_Save" class="button" href="javascript:__doPostBack('ctl00$ContentPlaceHolderMain$Save','')" name="ctl00_ContentPlaceHolderMain_Save">Save</a>
<p>File: <input type="file" name="ctl00$ContentPlaceHolderMain$File" id="ctl00_ContentPlaceHolderMain_File" /></p>
</form>
</div>
</body>
</html>
I tried separate --form arguments for each "input". Is that correct?
Something like:
curl -k --cookie my-cookies --form ctl00$ContentPlaceHolderMain$File=@file-to-upload --form ...
