here's how:
set the action_URL to "
http://www.sunrisesunset.com/calendar.asp";
set target_File to "daDisk:Desktop folder:Calfile.html"
set form_data to
"comb_city_info=Billings,+Montana;108.5;45.8;-7;1&month=10&year=2
003&want_twi_civ=1&want_mphase=1&want_mrms=1&time_type=1"
tell application "URL Access Scripting"
download action_URL to file target_File form data form_data replacing
yes
quit
end tell
The solution was to use OTSesionWatcher to see exactly how the form data
is posted when it's done manually with a browser.
