    I am having a problem with a new site, and need your help. The main entry point is here http://www.kqz-ks.org/SKQZ-WEB/en/shv/vbk.html The webpage does not respond at all to my post,

    Here is my current revision : BZR Repo copy

    Unfortunately I cannot get it to work, and I get no debug message back from the server.

    The server I am trying to interface is here : form you can call it like this : 

    perl  aspxtraktor_vote.pl --fname=John --lname=Smith--dob=12 --mob=Pri
+ --yob=1980

    [download]
    The code dumps out the all the data need when you run it. Here is the output from tamper when I run it in firefox. tamper data Here is the log file : Log File Any tips or help would be appreciated.

    thanks,

      As usual, track with Wireshark the difference between what your Perl script sends and what your browser sends when you access the page with it.

      Also, consider just automating the page using WWW::Scripter or WWW::Mechanize::Firefox, both of which know how to handle Javascript.

        Thanks Corion,

        It shows from wireshark that the post is not even connecting at all. Seems to be a problem. The send handlers shows that it tries, but the connection times out. Strange.
