Re: Re: Hiding passed values in url

I am looking into the UserAgent module and here is my attempt but it doenst seem to be working.

use strict;
use CGI qw(:standard);
use LWP::UserAgent;
use HTTP::Request::Common;

my $query = new CGI;
my $name = $query->param("name") || "";
my $city = $query->param("city") || "";

#do perl mail stuff here
#etc......

$ua = LWP::UserAgent->new;
$ua->request(POST 'http://webserverhere/mydirectory/act.cfm', [name =>
+ $name, city => $city]);
#not sure what do to from here?

You are throwing away the result of the request. You should do something like: `$result=$ua->request(POST 'http:.... if ($result->is_success) { # Everything OK print $result->content; # send everything to the user } else { # There was an error in the CF script die "or do something equaly drastic"; }` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

$result=$ua->request(POST 'http:....
if ($result->is_success) { # Everything OK
   print $result->content; # send everything to the user
