As promised in my earlier note, there is a second feature I'm looking for in wget. This feature is the ability to automatically post to forms. I'm thinking of something along the lines of a command line argument like: --auto-post=FILE where FILE would contain data such as: form=/cgi-bin/auth.cgi name="id" value="tony" name="pw" value="password" With this information, any time that wget encounters a form whose action is "/cgi-bin/auth.cgi", it will enqueue the submission of the form using the values provided for the fields "id" and "pw". Before I go too deep into making this change, I'd like some feedback. I know that I will need to change: - get_urls_html to look for a <FORM> tag whose action attribute matches the auto-post file - retrieve_tree to be able to POST as well as GET - main and initialize to deal with the new command line argument Is there anything else that seems obvious that I'm overlooking? Any cautions about the sections of code I'll be working with?
