I've searched google, and am > finding nothing other then that it can be done ... I'd recommend using curl. It has options for sending HTTP POST data in a couple of different formats. With nc, you'll have to fabricate the entire request and pipe it in. Easy enough to determine the format by tcpdumping a browser session, but curl has done the work and lets you do error checking on the response. -- Dan Nelson dnelson@allantgroup.com
