Shell Programming and Scripting

Hello,


I'm trying to send a HTTP POST command after doing a telnet to a machine, like below:

Code:

telnet ip port
POST http://ip:port/ HTTP/1.1
Accept-Encoding: gzip,deflate
Content-Type: text/xml;charset=UTF-8
SOAPAction: "test#Login"
Content-Length: 200
Host: ip:port
Connection: Keep-Alive
User-Agent: Apache-HttpClient/4.1.1 (java 1.5)
...............................

The problem is that adding it in a script, the POST doesn't work after doing the telnet. Launching them by hand, this work and, after doing the telnet, the POST commands return a right command.

How can I do this also from the script?


Thank you

I wonder if you should not use expect for that...

Actually the problem in the script is that the POST command runs only after the telnet is closed...The idea here is the POST to run immediately after the telnet.

I used here "echo -n command", in order to run the lines immediately after telnet, but it doesn't work

It seems I don't have it installed, and unfortunately I cannot make any change here...do you know another way to execute commands on the remote machine after doing a telnet?


Thank you

Not sure I understood...
After the telnet where should we be? Because on your previous update you seem to say on the remote...

Hi,


After the telnet I should be able to launch commands on the remote machine...using expect was great, but unfortunately, I don't have it installed and I don't have permission to install it...

You should have a look at this:
I modified it years ago for automating passwords change...
Automated FTP task | Unix Linux Forums | IP Networking
See if you cant adapt to your needs... It may work...
