curl?
No, I *don't* have to do it via FF or any other browser.
Can curl do that sort of thing? I've never used it
except for simple sucking-down of pages.
Yes.
-F/--form <name=content>
(HTTP) This lets curl emulate a filled in form in which a user has
pressed the submit button. This causes curl to POST data using the
content-type multipart/form-data according to RFC1867. This enables
uploading of binary files etc. To force the content part to be be a
file, prefix the file name with an @ sign. To just get the content part
from a file, prefix the file name with the letter <. The difference
between @ and < is then that @ makes a file get attached in the post as
a file upload, while the < makes a text field and just get the contents
for that text field from a file.
Example, to send your password file to the server, where password is
the name of the form-field to which /etc/passwd will be the input:
curl -F password=@/etc/passwd
www.mypasswords.com
To read the files content from stdin insted of a file, use
- where the file name shouldve been. This goes for both @ and <
constructs.
You can also tell curl what Content-Type to use for the file upload
part, by using type=, in a manner similar to:
curl -F "
[email protected];type=text/html" url.com
See further examples and details in the MANUAL.
This option can be used multiple times.
