RE: LWP vs Netscape

[Eric Cholet]

 hi,
 
 If I put this on Location: bar on the Netscape browser, I get the result
 of the search as expected (try it).
 
http://www.volunteermatch.com/results/results.jtmpl?zip=5radius=60when=30ongoing=bcategory=Everythingsubmit=Search

I don't, I get the search form. Using IE5 on Win98.

 
 
 But If I try to do this via LWP package, I didn't get the result page,
 but the FORM that is used to create this query(something is going
 wrong). Why ?!?!? What also is nesecary to send to the Web server, some
 Headers or what ?? Which ?
 I even got this result if I try the same query via telnet ?
 
 #!/usr/bin/perl
 use LWP::UserAgent;
 my $UA = new LWP::UserAgent;
 #$UA-agent("Agent/007:)");
 
 my $req = HTTP::Request-new(GET =
 
'http://www.volunteermatch.com/results/results.jtmpl?zip=5radius=60when=30ongoing=bcategory=Everythingsubmit=Search'
 );
 my $result = $UA-request($req);
 print $req-as_string;
  if ($result-is_success)
   {
$bb = $result-content . "BR\n";
$bb =~ s/^.*body bg(.*)\/body.*$/$1/is;
print $bb;
   }
else {print "no success\n";}
 
 
 
 
 THANX

 To make a long story short, my advice would be to use POST and not
 GET.  I think that might work.

Then you get something in access_log too.
