Does it throw any error ?

Are you using ActiveState perl or cygwin -perl ?

Good one!

BTW The server which I was hitting with the script does redirection ( HTTP Status Code 302 ). wget tried to follow the link but could not take care of POST params for the next link.
curl did not follow the link. ( I’ll have to see if there is any option for redirection

Of course, if you wanted a one-liner to use on linux, you could try this :

$ wget –post-data=”=”
or
$ curl –data =

For example, posting to the page http://sample.aquafire.org/post.php can be done as :

$ wget –post-data=”test=something” http://sample.aquafire.org/post.php

$ curl –data test=asdsad http://sample.aquafire.org/post.php

Hope this helps

Hey Kunal,
Neat hack… I’m sure this will be helpful…

besides, Java… phoo… i think I’ll stick to perl for the moment…
