But How would I be able to post it to the browser...<br />
would I do a <br />
<a href="http://whatever.com?" rel="ugc">http://whatever.com?</a>&quot;string=value&amp;string=value<wbr />&quot;|blah.cgi<wbr /><br />
or how would I type this?<br />

would I do a

or how would I type this?

You can't simply write it into the URL. Some servers support this (they don't really care if a request is GET or POST - they simply use both mechanisms to transfer data to the CGI script. Therefore, *sometimes* it works with a simple<br />
<a href="http://whatever.com/blah.cgi?string=value" rel="ugc">http://whatever.com/blah.cgi?string=value</a><br />
Ususally it doesn't, though.)<br />
<br />
So if you want to call a CGI script with arguments you have to use a FORM with METHOD=POST.<br />

thanks pc... for my company, I'm releasing a &quot;submit-it&quot; type program.. The cool thing is the user only has to hit the &quot;Submit&quot; button one time. &nbsp;The only thing I'm having problems with is server's that have &quot;post&quot; set up rather than &quot;get&quot;<br />
<br />
thanks..<br />

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I'm writing a cgi script and posts and gets to other cgi scripts.<br />
I know the GET command does something like this:<br />
blah.cgi?string=value&amp;stri<wbr />ng=value &lt;--and so on<br />
How does a POST work? I'm trying to manually type it in the same way and it doesn't work.. please help me.

Post Vs. Get

A scripting language is a programming language that supports scripts, programs written for a special run-time environment that automate the execution of tasks that could alternatively be executed one-by-one by a human operator. Scripting languages are often interpreted (rather than compiled). Primitives are usually the elementary tasks or API calls, and the language allows them to be combined into more complex programs. Environments that can be automated through scripting include software applications, web pages within a web browser, the shells of operating systems (OS), embedded systems, as well as numerous games. A scripting language can be viewed as a domain-specific language for a particular environment; in the case of scripting an application, this is also known as an extension language.
