Post to CGI

[Amanita]

Is their a command that allows me to post to a regular perl script?

For example I have looked at the mailer examples but instead of sending the mail I would like to post the info. to a regular form to mail script written in perl on my website.

[Graham]

uri: http://mycgi.script.pl

var1: "myname"
data1: "Graham"
var2: "password"
data2: "*****"

result: read/custom uri reduce [ 'POST rejoin [ var1 "=" data1 "&" var2 "=" data2 ]]

should do it.

If you are not allowed to post without using cookies, see my http-tools.r script in the rebol.or library.

So are you saying that var is similar to the input field in a regular html form?

Code:

layout [
  styles t-styles
    backdrop white
    box 400x400 blue
    at 4x4  btn3 "x" [unview]
   
uri: http://domain.com/cgi-bin/amail/aform.cgi

var1: "myname"
data1: "Graham"
var2: "password"
data2: "*****"

btn "submit" [result: read/custom uri reduce [ 'POST rejoin [ var1 "=" data1 "&" var2 "=" data2 ]
 ]
]

I'm not sure how to initiate it to send, above I tried to use a button but that doesnt work...

Code:

mylo: layout [
 box 200x100
 at 90x10  button "x" [unview/only mylo ]
 at 10x90 btn "submit" [ submit ]
]

uri: http://domain.com/cgi-bin/amail/aform.cgi

var1: "myname"
data1: "Graham"
var2: "password"
data2: "*****"

submit: does [
result: read/custom uri reduce [ 'POST rejoin [ var1 "=" data1 "&" var2 "=" data2 ]
]]

view center-face mylo

Thank you for the help Graham, I think I'm starting to understand it now.

I think you were getting a little confused by putting code into the layout.   The layout is a special rebol dialect that is parsed by the vid dialect parser.

So, in other words, it's a different language in the layout.

Much as parse dialect is different...

I think you were getting a little confused by putting code into the layout.

You are correct, as a matter of fact I did the same thing while trying to figure out how to make an address book.

I just ordered REBOL for Dummies, maybe it will help me grasp the fundamentals.
