Lynx question 1

[DeepBlerg]

Hi,

We've got Lynx 2.8 running on Linux. And I'm just wondering since Lynx doesn't support Javascript, how could I do a body onLoad which submits a form?

The reason for this is that the script is a PHP page that runs in a cronjob and I need the script to POST vars to a certain page and only found out recently that Lynx ignored onLoad because of its lack of support of Javascript.

Why not use a GET?

Check out 'curl':

http://curl.haxx.se/

It handles POST, GET, and a boatload of others. There docs and tutorials at that link to get you started. An example of POST is given:
<from

http://curl.haxx.se/docs/httpscripting.html>

[tt]curl -d "birthyear=1905&press=%20OK%20" www.hotmail.com/when/junk.cgi[/tt]

I've used wget (windows version) and it works great. The *nix version doesnt support it as far as i can tell.
