Unfortunately it's not just one script. I've found many variations in login pages, so I've had to customize the scripts for each different target. Some logins require a form to be posted back, others are handled via WWW-Authenticate pop-up boxes and sometimes redirects have to be followed. That's not hard if the site uses Location headers, because curl can handle those, but I've also found meta-refresh tags and several types of javascript "go-elsewhere" redirects that have to be individually scripted. </blockquote>
<div><br>And these are some of the same issues I've run in to while writing the URLPlus script. I've been trying to slowly morph it into something that can configured solely through the configuration file without having to change any code, but that's easier said than done. Especially since the original reason I was writing the script got removed, and is supposed to be converted to yet another monitoring system (which so far hasn't progressed, probably because of the fact that some of the monitors are non-trivial).<br>

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

<font size="4">I don't think so, as it currently stands. This line:<br>
<br>
$ret=qx(curl -m $tout -s -k -S $pstr "$url" 2>&1);<br>
<br>
in showUrl is the bit that actually fetches the web page. To do a POST using curl, you would need to change that to:<br>
<br>
$ret=qx(curl -m $tout -s -k -S -d $postArgs $pstr "$url" 2>&1);<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
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...<br>
