submit value?

The url post IS a submit. Just include all the name/value pairs that the
form produces and use the forms "Action" value...

Depends on the server. Its possible to configure apache to accept only
POST data (blocking GET data) for security reasons - to stop people
emulating the submission of a form they don't have access to or using a
robot to make bulk submissions. (We recently had to do this when someone
started hammering our whois script with an external bot)

Re[2]: submit value?

Hello Bruce,

Doh!

Actually turns out to be not as simple as I thought it would be after
I read your answer. I accomplish this this way all time in my own
scripts... I am trying to form the url with all the parameters. The
link goes out in an email. I can't seem to form
it properly. This form is actually a call to merchant.mvc which the
"submit" is doing the same thing with different params. So it needs
action and screen store_code, etc. and then the fields that need to be
filled, with a "post" (submit).

I'm either confused or stumped or more than likely both. :-)

Here another sample URL:

http://127.0.0.1:8000/Merchant2/merc...335&pc=SKU1234

This link pulls up info based on product sku and order_id.
Screen=Myscreen obviously pulls up the correct form from the module
that accepts the fields "Order_ID" and "pc"
