wget and --postdata

[Sam Lander]

Hello,

[First: thanks to all the developers, I have just moved to 3.1.1beta3 and
everything (except for my own fat fingers/brain) has worked just fine.]

My problem is:

   1. I have a cable plan that will, if I break the 'cap' start charging me
   punitively. I want to avoid that.
   2. I like to run a fairly open wireless environment for my friends,
   family and guests.

My proposed solution is to make my LEAF box:

   1. Look up the usage statistics for my account
   2. Apply traffic shaping (or selective turning-off) to stay smoothly
   within the 'cap'


I looked at the usage meter, and it turns out that it is protected by a
https login page and sessionID cookies. Tricky.
So, I installed wget-ssl (thanks for that too!) and tried this beginning
script:

breaker# wget --post-data='password=\[mypasswd]&Action=login' \
   --save-cookies=mycookies.txt \
   --keep-session-cookies \
   https://[usagepageURL]/?username=[myusername]

unfortunately, it gives me:
   wget: unrecognized option `--post-data=password=volley12&Action=login'
   Usage: wget [OPTION]... [URL]...

I suppose because --postdata is not compiled into this wget (Version:
1.8.2-11 Rev 1 uClibc 0.9.28)  or because it wasn't available back then?

Questions:
Am I going about this in a sensible way? and
Is there a wget-ssl that does --postdata?


Many thanks again,

Sam

Hi Folks

More a nuisance than anything else. I was observing a loss of free
memory on our systems over time, the culprit appears to be the snmpd
process. Googling around revealed I was not alone. It appears that there
are a number of fixes in more recent net-snmpd versions which address
memory leaks.

Right now I just restart the snmpd process daily, but in the long run I
will have to address this.

cheers

Erich
