All,

I am using Fedora Core 2 and my version of wget is 1.9 (GNU Wget 
1.9+cvs-stable (Red Hat modified))

It seems from what Frederick has found out wget get does not support POST 
commands in 1.8.1 and 1.8.2

As Frederick and Jim pointed out, the equivalent can be done using curl.

Regards,

Mon

Hi Jim,

[quoting corrected]

>I actually posted a shell script that does exactly this using curl
>quite some time ago.

Gee, if you are able to do that, I wonder why you top-post.

Anyway: I have wget 1.8.1 on (Debian) Linux, wget 1.8.2 on OpenBSD 3.5
and wget 1.8.2 on cygwin (XP-SP1), none knows "--post-data" so I also
had to resort to curl.

My (very simple) script looks like this:

#!/bin/sh
nach="/work/BACK/m0n0_"`date +%Y%m%d`.xml

curl --data 'Submit=Download' \
http://username:secret@192.168.x.x/diag_backup.php >$nach

Regards  Frederick
