This seems somewhat inelegant and a (small) waste of my time as I've got to wait for the page with the form in to be downloaded before I can fill it in. Far better to make the call directly to the CGI with the POST data from the off - except there doesn't seem to be a method to do this.

Hello Simon,
I now understand what you're trying to do and the constraints you're facing. :-)
The following should do the trick:
tell application "Safari"
tell front window
tell (make new tab)
do JavaScript "
var F = document.createElement(\"form\");
F.setAttribute(\"method\", \"POST\");
F.setAttribute(\"action\", \"https://www.somwhere.net/login.cgi";);
var I = document.createElement(\"input\");
I.setAttribute(\"name\", \"identity\");
I.setAttribute(\"value\", \"fred\");
F.appendChild(I);
var I = document.createElement(\"input\");
I.setAttribute(\"name\", \"passwd\");
I.setAttribute(\"value\", \"bert\");
F.appendChild(I);
F.submit();
"
end tell
end tell
end tell
Of course, as in my previous post, the url and the needed fields are still hypothetical...
HTH,
Axel
