As well as the wrong URL, the data should be URL encoded. Lynx passes
the data through unmodified, so you should look in the specification
for HTML forms, rather than that for Lynx for details.
> lynx -post_data http://a.to/test.html
> Steven
> Test it!
> ---
In this case, the data should have been:
name=Steven&comments=Test+it!
or possibly (I've not checked whether ! is special):
name=Steven@comments=Test+it%21
> <textarea name=comments COLS=<input type=submit value="DO IT"> <input type=reset
>value=CLEAR>
This is broken. I have assumed that the textarea element is actually
terminated correctly with a non-null COLS parameter and a closing >.
