Re: Want to use url to post the data in form.

Hi all,

I want to construct a url to do the same thing that a post form done,
e.g., username and password, is the data submitted by the form. What
should I do then just a constructed url to do the same thing?

Let me describe my issue in more detail:

Take the following url as a example:

http://proquest.umi.com/pqdweb

My institute is a subscriber of it and I've a username and pssword of
this library. In my case, I find that I've two choices to log into
it:

1- Go to the above url, and then fill the logon form by my username
and pssword, finally, click on the connect button.

2- Alternatively, I can only use the following url to logon:

http://proquest.umi.com/pqdweb?RQT=301&UserId=myusername&Passwd=mypssword&JSEnabled=1

where, the _myusername_ and _mypssword_ are the login credentials
of mine.

So, I want to konw the map rule from the first method to the the
second, i.e., construct a url to do the same thing as a post form
done.

IF the application that processes the submitted form doesn't distinguish between data sent in a POST request and and data included in the URL in a GET request, you can use a query string of the form field1Name=field1Value&field2Name=field2Value& ... &fieldnName=fieldnValue for the names and values of each of the n fields in the form. But if the application is set up to process only posted data, then there *is* no way to create a URL that will automatically work in a GET request.
