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
site at the moment, so anything will do.

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

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...
