I am trying to fill out a web form from within a script I am writing. I think that I should be using curl to do this, but I'm not really sure. The form has username and password fields and a submit button. I want to be able to log in from the command line.
Html from the site:
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
You can get a script from the curl website called formfind. You download the html page or just save your post to an html file, then run formfind on it (./formfind < index.html). You will get some output like:
That tells you the things you need to input, what they're called, and what url the data actually gets sent to.
You then use curl with those values:
curl -d "userId=YOURNAME&pass=YOURPASS" 'https://safeconnect.bucknell.edu:8443/authenticate.!^'
I only single quoted the url because of the "!^" at the end. Quotes aren't normally needed. Sometimes you may need to use "curl -k" and sometimes the -d needs to be -F. I haven't read up on it, but I have 3 systems, and all three need a different curl command for the same site.
