Subject: [Lynx-dev] Post_data, or,
how can I automagically send a username/password to a site?
If this is in the documentation I didn't find it.
I have an account at my local library, and for some purposes
using lynx to access it instead of {firefox, ...} (the site makes
_extensive_ use of javascript) would be a lot faster, if I could
automate the account access. I apparently don't understand
-post_data, because typing
lynx -post_data <site>
username or barcode: <username>
(the name of the username field)
password: <password>
---
<CR><CR>
(note the two returns)
is, as far as I can tell, just a fancy way of typing
lynx -dump <site> .
I have also tried -auth .
