Hello Eric If the <@URL> tag from within Tango won't do the job for you due to strange restrictions set in the cgi (or if you are still using Tango 3), then you can use cURL:
http://curl.haxx.se/ Grab your POST arguments, save them to a text file, then call cURL as an external action from within Tango. Use the -d or -F flag with @ to read the data from the file you just saved (or if it's just two arguments, you can stick it all on the command line, without using "@"). Remember to URL-encode the arguments. You may also want to use the -e flag to fake the "referrer" field, and fool the cgi into thinking the form was submitted from the original location and not Tango. Optionally, also use -A to fake the user-agent, if the cgi requires one. The difference between -d and -F is in the content type: -d is submitted as "application/x-www-form-urlencoded", and -F as "multipart/form-data". Regards, Todd >OK folks I have a question for your.
