   I haven't checked The Shire in a while, but I think it still has an
   older version.  I personally haven't been working on URLPlus for a few
   months (actually, I left the company I was using the script at), but a
   former coworker of mine has taken the task of updating the code.  I
   will check with him to see where he's at. Also, I do plan on getting
   back to developing it, hopefully in the near future (sometime later
   this year).
Massimo:

What exactly are you looking for out of urlplus?

I am working on changing urlplus to use libcurl instead of the using
the curl command line tool.  Some website monitoring I needed
involved using shared session data (in a nefarious cross-site
scripting way, but that is what our app was doing) and hitting
multiple links on a website with the same initial login authentication
session data.  You can only do the shared cookies/session stuff
with libcurl.

I am using a bare bones perl/libcurl script to do the aforementioned
monitoring now and have not yet plugged it into Gary's urlplus.
Furthermore, given the complexity of what I am trying to do with
shared session login the urlplus configuration file layout has to
be looked at again.

We'll keep the list posted on any progress.

Gary has a 1.22 version laying around but I am not sure what's
changed and it's a year old already.

   I have an updated version of URLPLus which supports single-form
   submissions.
   I haven't gotten around to being able to submit directly to The Shire,
   so I'm attaching it here.
   I've also updated this to do multi-page checking (i.e. full
   "end-to-end" transaction monitoring), but consider that feature mostly
   experimental at this time.

   Would you share the bourne script. I need something quickly for only 1

   Can this new extension do the post like the builtin http test can do ?
       Regards, Thomas

   I don't think so, as it currently stands. This line:
   $ret=qx(curl -m $tout -s -k -S $pstr "$url" 2>&1);
   in showUrl is the bit that actually fetches the web page. To do a POST
   using curl, you would need to change that to:
   $ret=qx(curl -m $tout -s -k -S -d $postArgs $pstr "$url" 2>&1);
   with matching additions elsewhere to fill the $postArgs variable with
   whatever you want to post. If you're wanting to implement something
   that performs a login, you'd probably want to track cookies as well.
   I'm not much of a perl programmer, so I'm not confident about making
   such changes. On the other hand, I've done quite a lot of this in
   Bourne shell...
