We use curl a fair bit at work to drive web pages from Linux. We've got a supplier that expects information to be sent via https to their servers and actually expect that an end user will fill in the forms. We've got a whole bunch of code that grabs the pages, parses the output, fills in the forms, submits them, and grabs the results and logs it to a database. It all happens nicely in the background and neither our end user nor the supplier knows what's happening. Every now and then the web pages change, but it's usually not that hard to figure out the mods we need to make to our code to accommodate them. -- Ed Wilts, Mounds View, MN, USA mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
