LYNX-DEV -post_data & TYPE=PASSWORD

[dg984997]

Dear Lynx Masters:

I am new to this news group so I hope I am not repeating things here.
I did do a bit of digging in the recient archive to discover you had
be discussing the lack of documentation for users who want to use 
lynx for scripting.  

My question in this.  I have figured out how to retrieve data from 
web servers using the -post_data option on lynx as a command line
utility.  I was unable to use this method to send my membership-id and
password to one of the servers I wanted to retrieve data from.
I am assuming that since the form input is of TYPE=PASSWORD that the
password is automatically encrypted and when I use -post_data it is
not sending the encripted form.  


Any suggestions on how to overcome this problem?
