Thanks for the prompt answer.

I've taken a tcpdump and I confirm that wget indeed sends the two lines in
the request but only sends one POST.

The application is not ready and ignores the rest of the XML request.

Is it possible to have wget to send a different POST for each line on the
file in an HTTP 1.1 persistent connection or HTTP 1.0 "Connection:
Keep-alive" connection? Like having the connection up and feed it trough
stdin or something similar?

Thanks in advance
