scripting - Scripting wget to populate a webapp

Question

Can I use wget to populate some forms in a web app if the web app requires a user to login? I'm trying to use wget in a script to send some data to a web app, but it appears the web app rejects the attempts because I am not logged in.

Answer 1

I think you would be better off using curl instead of wget. Wget is meant more for downloading, not submitting forms.
