If you are talking about [tcpconnect], that is very much like a very simplistic browser (actually it is more like a telnet session) so it can submit forms. A POST is just a different way to submit information to the web server. GET just sends a URL with any parameters; POST sends the URL plus the NAME/VALUE pairs for all FORM fields (including the SUBMIT button itself). > POST /Index.shtml HTTP/1.1 > Connection: close > User-Agent: Mozilla/4.03 [en] (Win95; I ;Nav) > Host: www.somehost.com > Accept: image/gif, image/x-xbitmap, image/jpeg, image/pjpeg, */* > Accept-Language: en > Accept-Charset: iso-8859-1,*,utf-8 > Content-length: 17 > > TEST=1 > FISH=Carp What's fun (though not with all web servers) is that you can mix GET and POST...
