I have a php script that runs as cgi on a webserver. The programme is quite simple. First is asks for a userid and password. The userid and password are sent as a parameter. If these value coincide with expected value, the system returns a page where the user may click on a hyperlink to continue his journey.
\nWe thus have a stream with two parameters that is sent from the user browser to the webserver, upon which the system may react.<\/p>\n

It is possible to mimick this with a python programme that sends the same stream to the webserver. This programme looks like:<\/p>\n

\nfrom urllib import request, parse\nurl='http:\/\/62.131.51.129\/load_pr\/password.php'\nparms = {\n    'txtUsername' : 'tom',\n    'txtPassword' : 'binvegni'\n        }\nquerystring = parse.urlencode(parms)\nu = request.urlopen(url, querystring.encode('ascii'))\nresp = u.read()\nprint (resp)\n<\/pre>\n
This stream is sent to the webserver that runs on http:\/\/62.131.51.129. It sends the same stream of bytes as requested from script http:\/\/62.131.51.129\/load_pr\/password.php as it contains two parameter values (‘txtUsername’, ‘txtPassword’).
\nWe call this Python programme with “D:\\Users\\tmaanen\\Documents>python sendPost.py”. The answer received is:<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/a>
\nThis matches the stream as sent by the webserver as from the php script.<\/p>\n
Finally, in case of get instead of post, the programme is slightly different:<\/p>\n
\nfrom urllib import request, parse\nurl='http:\/\/62.131.51.129\/load_pr\/password.php'\nparms = {\n    'txtUsername' : 'tom',\n    'txtPassword' : 'bunvegni'\n        }\nquerystring = parse.urlencode(parms)\nu = request.urlopen(url+'?'+querystring)\nresp = u.read()\nprint (resp)\n<\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
