At 10:02p -0700 09/19/2003, Alan Kimelman didst inscribe upon an
electronic papyrus:
Although I attempted to build an address with form fields, I do
not understand the syntax for submitting the fields in an single
long URL.
For example, in scripting Safari to enter "http://awebsite.org"; ,
how would I change a form data entry from
"name=Alan&code="ABCDEFG"&pin="123456" to a single long URL?
No quotes on attribute values -- it's all one single string.
As I understand the previous messages , I could then script Safari
to open that URL with a single long URL that encompassed the form
data and bypass any requests by the web page for identification.
Conceivably... but remember this:

method=POST or method=GET and one had better use the one that's expected
A CGI is written specifically to either not care or care whether the
data comes via POST or GET (or PATH_INFO, for that matter). Some
scripts do entirely different things depending on the method: for
example, my own keymail script uses GET to present the form to fill
out, and uses POST to submit the data.
So unless the webmaster of awebsite.org tells you that you can use
GET, the only way to know is to try it; if it fails, you'll know you
need POST.
