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... Ralph Mitchell

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.

Unfortunately it's not just one script. I've found many variations in login pages, so I've had to customize the scripts for each different target. Some logins require a form to be posted back, others are handled via WWW-Authenticate pop-up boxes and sometimes redirects have to be followed. That's not hard if the site uses Location headers, because curl can handle those, but I've also found meta-refresh tags and several types of javascript "go-elsewhere" redirects that have to be individually scripted. I posted something a year or so ago that might get you started. If I can find it, I'll post it again.

Seems like we have a "get-rid-of-Hobbit" project about every 2 years or so. I think our National Tools Team has some kind of click-through tools that records page requests, but I'm pretty sure it doesn't do too well with forms that include some variable(s) sent back by the server. For example, one thing I've seen is a form variable called __VIEWSTATE that seems to get a new, longer value with each successive page loaded. I've no idea what the value is as it's encoded some way, but I suppose it tracks where you are in the page. I don't think the script recorder can handle variable inputs either. I'm watching a number of web pages where I have to enter a date that's days or weeks ahead of today's date. The recorder will just see the post containing the future date and faithfully re-post it every time, right up until it becomes a past date and the monitor breaks... I won't be too surprised if in the end I get to keep my scripts, but I'll probably have to send traps to Unicenter as well as sending Hobbit reports. That way the "best shore" eyes-on-glass folks in Brazil or Singapore or wherever won't have to deal with Hobbit, while the 2nd-level folks at home still get the detail they're used to. In the meantime, attached are the two files I sent previously, on 6/23/06. Here's what I wrote then: bb-siteminder.sh is an example script to demonstrate how to login
formextract.pl is a slightly modified copy of Daniel Stenberg's formfind.pl, which can be found here: http://curl.haxx.se/docs/programs.html I'm not a perl programmer, so any screwups in formextract are mine, not Daniel's... :) It's doubtful that the example script will work out of the box. I've found that I generally have to take it in easy stages - fetch the first page, eyeball it, adjust the script, lather, rinse, repeat.

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. Regards, -dkw

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. Regards, -dkw

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.

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... Ralph Mitchell Please be advised that this email may contain confidential information.
