Well, I've found annoying problems in UAS for Mac OS X. It definitely
will not work if you're trying to POST form data, rather than just
using a GET. You can either use WebMiner as gerd mentioned, which has
a fairly low price and has a helpful AppleScript interface, or you
can use the command-line utility 'curl'. Type man curl in the
Terminal to see how to use it. It is very powerful, and is built into
Mac OS X 10.1 and greater.
I've never tried to upload with UAS, and didn't know that was broken,
too. It would be nice if Apple would just move URL Access Scripting's
engine over to using curl. Curl is fast and very flexible.

i posted this same problem some weeks ago and got the answer that in OS
X 10.0 and 1 UAS is not able to upload anything because of a bug.
I had this problem with the OS 9 UAS also. I can only download with UAS.
If you need to upload postings i recommend you to use "Webminer" from
http://www.brooklinesoftware.com.
It is much faster also for downloading.

So, I renamed the classic version and moved it
so it wouldn't be found. After reading a tip in the
archives, I opened my script, copied to
clipboard, quit script editor, re-opened script
editor and pasted into a new script and saved
