[hobbit] URLplus

[Thomas Laurids Pedersen]

Would you share the bourne script. I need something quickly for only 1 site
at the moment, so anything will do.

Regards, Thomas

      Can this new extension do the post like the builtin http test can do
      ?

I don't think so, as it currently stands.  This line:

   $ret=qx(curl -m $tout -s -k -S $pstr "$url" 2>&1);

in showUrl is the bit that actually fetches the web page.  To do a POST
using curl, you would need to change that to:

   $ret=qx(curl -m $tout -s -k -S -d $postArgs $pstr "$url" 2>&1);

with matching additions elsewhere to fill the $postArgs variable with
whatever you want to post.  If you're wanting to implement something that
performs a login, you'd probably want to track cookies as well.

I'm not much of a perl programmer, so I'm not confident about making such
changes.  On the other hand, I've done quite a lot of this in Bourne
shell...
