I am attempting to automate some alpha pages to my beeper via a
cgi-bin app the beeper vendor has online. I wrote a little shell
script that looks like this:
#!/bin/sh
#
echo "PIN=5551212&MSSG=$1" > /tmp/page
echo '---' >> /tmp/page
#
lynx -post_data < /tmp/page http://www.pagercom.com/cgi-bin/wwwpage.exe
Here's the problem...This works great using version 2.7.1 of lynx,
which I have on one of my systems (luckily)...but it doesn't work
using version 2.8.1rel1 of lynx on another system I have here. Now
I originally had the lynx call looking like this:
lynx -post_data http://www.pagercom.com/cgi-bin/wwwpage.exe < /tmp/page
until I saw a message in the lynx mailing archives that suggested the
URL last on the cmdline for another problem involving -get_data, so
I figured, why not give it a shot. But either way fails with this
error message:
Exiting via interrupt: 15
lynx: Can't access startfile http://www.pagercom.com/cgi-bin/wwwpage.exe
The two systems are both running FreeBSD if that helps at all.
Anyone have a clue why the newer version of lynx barfs on this?
Is there a better method to get this to work? Should this work?
P.S. The URL in the above examples is ficticious.
