Re: CGI https post

You may want to take a look at my GETURI application.  It
was written specifically for what you ask. 

You can download it from www.bvstools.com/geturi.html.
 After that, simply email me and I'll provide a key that
you can use to test it with full functionality.  See
www.bvstools.com/contact.html for contact information.

As for the technical details, GETURI can be used to send a
GET, HEAD or POST request either over HTTP or HTTPS (SSL).
 It also can handle Basic Authentication, cookies, user
defined HTTP headers (such as those used with SOAP or other
XML variations).  

It allows you to send the request string (query string or
standard input variables) either in the command, or you can
also specify a stream file where the request resides.  This
second option is good for large dynamic requests (such as
XML documents).

You can then view the response on the screen, or save the
response to a Physical file or Stream file.

GETURI can be run either from an IBM-like command, or using
the GETURI API from a program.

Again, feel free to contact me with any questions or help
testing the command.
