I am trying to post a file to a URL via the MS-DOS command prompt. I am using the Lynx browser to do this. I am able to post my file just fine, but all of the newline characters are removed by Lynx before creating the POST request. Is it possible to post a file via command line without having the newline characters removed? The command I am running is:

lynx -post_data http://www开发者_如何学Python.myserver.com/myscript.pl < testfile.txt

The input file, testfile.txt, looks like this:

test=This

is

a

test.;
---

The data that actually gets sent across the wire looks like this:

test=Thisisatest.;


I actually found cURL to be a far better utility to post a file via MS-DOS.


I believe that you need to have your special characters URLENCODED for this to work. According to this Lynx page:

Forms most commonly are submitted to http servers with the content encoded as ENCTYPE="application/x-www-form-urlencoded" for analysis by a script, and Lynx treats that as the default if no ENCTYPE is specified in the FORM start tag. However, you can specify a mailto URL as the form's ACTION to have the form content sent, instead, to an email address. In such cases, you may wish to specify ENCTYPE="text/plain" in the form markup, so that the content will not be encoded, but remain readable as plain text.

This means that spaces become %20 and newlines become %0A
