I too wouldn't mind an answer for this.
Daniel Stenberg I believe you didn't understand what he was trying to say.

The situation is, every new page, there is a new key.
The way to get that key, is to use curl to go to that url, execute the
handle to get the output data, scrape the key, then here is the
problem, how do you submit POST command using postfield( to submit the
key+data) to that same url without executing a new handle because you
already executed the last handle. Therefor in order to submit a post,
the page has to be reloaded using a new\same handle, so the page will
be refreshed.

I don't think curl can load the page, output it to a variable and then
POST all using 1 execute command. Because you set the output variable
when you execute, not before.
