not so simple post to a web site

Sat May 25 00:38:01 EDT 2002

Kee,

try:

post "user=bartsimpson&pass=maggiesimpson&querytext="&myValue to URL
https://www.kagi.com/cgi-bin/TheQueryCGI.cgi

where myValue is the value of the textarea you want to post.

If you need to post filedata, try the altSAfileup control at:
http://www.altuit.com/webs/altuit2/RunRev/Downloads.htm
