POSTing with LWP
|
Can't Post
|
|
Firstly, thanks for all previous help (thanks japhy) 
Now then...I am attempting to write a program that sends data to a perl script on the web via the POST method and reads the resulting HTML file, but I am having trouble doing so.
I shall illustrate my problem using the page at http://www.ittc.ukans.edu/~paden/Reference/Encode/form/post.html simply because it is a script which uses the POST method (and which I can' manage to access with a script).
The form at this page has the HTML:
<FORM action="http://www.ittc.ukans.edu/~paden/cgi-bin/Encode/post" method=POST>
<table>
<tr>
<td>Name:</td>
<td><input name="Name" size=60></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Password:</td>
<td><input name="Password" type="password" size=60></td>
</tr>
</table>
<input type="reset" value="Reset fields to old values"><br>
<input type="submit" value="Click Here to Send to Server"><br>
</form>
I have the following script, which as far as I can see should print the HTML of the resulting page, however I instead receive an error, what can be wrong?
use LWP::UserAgent;
$ua = new LWP::UserAgent;
$ua->agent("MyAgent/0.1 " . $ua->agent);
my $req = new HTTP::Request POST => 'http://www.ittc.ukans.edu/~paden/cgi-bin/Encode/post';
$req->content_type('application/x-www-form-urlencoded');
$req->content('Name=name&Password=password');
my $res = $ua->request($req);
if ($res->is_success) {
print $res->content;
} else {
print "There was an error";
}
What am I doing wrong that the error is always displayed?
Any thanks shall be much appreciated
