| 04:23 | <@ToxicFrog> | Hmm. |
| 04:23 | <@ToxicFrog> | Any HTTP gurus here? |
| 04:24 | <@ToxicFrog> | Specifically with knowledge of the internal workings of POST? |
| 04:29 | <@ToxicFrog> | Gnar. This looks unpleasant. |
| 04:30 | <@McMartin> | I always just had Tomcat sort it out for me. =P |
| 04:30 | <@ToxicFrog> | Maybe I should just abuse lynx and expect~ |
| 04:30 | <@ToxicFrog> | The issue here is that I have a directory full of images. I need to (1) upload these to an image hosting site and (2) generate a mapping from file names to image host URLs. |
| 04:31 | <@ToxicFrog> | The result of (2) is then fed to a script that does some processing to generate the appropriate links in my template. |
| 04:31 | <@McMartin> | Hrm. Yeah, that's going to be rough. |
| 04:32 | <@McMartin> | (1) is mean if you don't have a program to do it for you |
| 04:32 | <@McMartin> | That said, check curl's manual. |
| 04:33 | <@ToxicFrog> | Both curl and wget support POST |
| 04:33 | <@ToxicFrog> | However, curl only supports application/x-www-form-urlencoded format |
| 04:34 | <@ToxicFrog> | wget isn't clear on whether it supports multipart/form-data, which is what I need, but in either case they expect the user to construct the POST body themselves, and wget/curl then sends it to the server without further processing |
| 04:41 | <@ToxicFrog> | Hmm. |
| 04:41 | <@ToxicFrog> | I can seem to echo arrow keystrokes into lynx. |
| 04:41 | <@ToxicFrog> | can't, rather. |
| 04:43 | <@ToxicFrog> | ...but I don't have to! |
| 04:50 | <@ToxicFrog> | I am inordinately amused by the fact that I am now working on a file called "waffle.lynx" |

| 16:56 | <@ToxicFrog> | TheWatcher: thanks, but I sorted it by remote-controlling lynx to do the upload for me. |
| 16:57 | <@ToxicFrog> | (and save the resulting page, which I then parse) |
| 16:57 | <@ToxicFrog> | ...hmm |
| 16:57 | <@ToxicFrog> | I was planning to mount this disk on /media, but I now remember that's reserved. |
| 17:01 | <@TheWatcher> | TF: okies |
| 17:02 | <@ToxicFrog> | (it's actually kind of cool. You can tell lynx to save your keystrokes to a file. You can also tell it to read such a file and act on the contents.) |
| 17:02 | <@ToxicFrog> | (so I generate a file with the right keystrokes to open the page, upload a file, and save the result to a known filename) |
