in thread Correct link to put in my WWW:Mechanize

Thanks Rolf, I tried that, still the same error (Error GETing http://www.csbio.sjtu.edu.cn/bioinf/MEMBRAIN/: Not Found) (both by putting post or get). Is there maybe somewhere that I need to add the cgi-bin part perhaps?

    I've updated my post in the meantime that cAsE matters.

    Anything after the domain is a file-path and follows unix rules.

    You should try to open those URIs in the browser.

      Sorry Rolf, I am a bit confused. In my script, I write: 
      my $url = 'http://www.csbio.sjtu.edu.cn/bioinf/MemBrain/';

      [download]

      and, in the source of the page I see: 
      <form name="myform" action="/cgi-bin/MEMBRAIN.cgi" method="post" onSub
+mit="javascript: return checkform();">

      [download]

      Do these two need to be combined perhaps somehow?

        That's not the code you showed us.

        you are confusing two things:

        1. the static page you open in your browser to see the form
        2. the CGI you can submit your form parameters to.
        Which one do you want to mechanize? I can't tell.

        Cheers Rolf

        Also, this one does not point somewhere: http://www.csbio.sjtu.edu.cn/bioinf/MemBrain/cgi-bin/MEMBRAIN.cgi --> The requested URL /bioinf/MemBrain/cgi-bin/MEMBRAIN.cgi was not found on this server.
