Hi
Problems with -post_data :
1) Docs describe it as reading "properly formatted data" from stdin ,
without actually mentioning what is meant by this.
2) When one has done enough experiments to discover what _is_ meant
(YOU format the data as you like, if you're lucky (or smart) the
server you submit it to will agree), it turns out to mean "properly
formatted data" from which lynx will strip all the CR's and
LineFeeds (and possibly spaces and who knows what else?). i.e., not
exactly properly formatted then.
3) (2) effectively entirely prevents lynx submitting data
non-interactively in the (superior) MIME multipart/form-data
format. Ironic, as it can do this perfectly well for an interactive
user of a form.
The latter seems particulary strange, as I would assume that the
design philosophy of such a useful tool as lynx would include a
principle that (where possible) whatever can be done interactively can
be done from the command line or in a script.
Hope the feedback was useful,
tim
