Re: Using wget to fill in a form



The url you give is for the form. If you enter an ISBN number it will do 
the search.

What you need to do is capture the http header sent when you click 
"submit query" then replace the test ISBN number with whatever number 
you want to search. Wireshark can do this. Simply look for the query 
packet(s).

At some point I thought about trying capture what was being submitted, but since my http protocol knowledge is limited I thought the information might also be being sent as a URL, which I figured would make wget perfect for this. I've got wireshark loaded on something around here, so I will investigate this line of thought. Thanks!
