So it's no different than a GET except that it doesn't go in the URL? That's easy!

Thanks Sarah,

Len you need to pair up the variable names with their values.
Something like this:

put "username="&  URLencode(tUserName) into myDataString
put "&password="&  URLencode(tPassword) after myDataString
  etc, etc.

Then you can use the post command as you have it below.

Cheers,
Sarah

  I'm trying to create a "value added" front end to a web site.  What I need
to do first is login to my account.  I suspect the the entire site is
created in the same "style" so once I get past logging in, I should be able
to scrape the rest of the data I need to present in LiveCode locally.

The login page is a simple html form with 4 "fields":

auth_vars[username]
auth_vars[password]
auth_vars[submit] Value="Login"
auth_vars[action]  Value="login"

The form will be submitted to /login.php using POST

My question is how can I create this login sequence and send it to login.php
followed by the variables?  I know with the GET method you have
varname=value separated by commas.  LiveCode will let me do something like:

post myDataString to URL "http://mywebsite.com/login.php";

but I don't know how to format myDataString in order to have it accepted.

Any help or pointers to web sites that might enlighten me are appreciated.
