Hi,

I am trying to use HTTP::Request::Common;
Its working fine but I want to make the code more generic ... I am POSTing a request with:

my $req = POST $url, Content_Type => 'form-data',
            Content        => [
                    loaderid   => $loaderid,
                    zipped     => $zipped,
                    user       => $user,
                    filetype   => $filetype,
                    file       => [ $fname ]
                ];

What I want to do is have variable number of attributes that I read from a config file such as:

####################
#  Load Settings  #
####################
loaderid = 382
user = Andy 
zipped = 1 # 0 Not Zipped, 1 Zipped, 2 Gzipped- do not use -1
filetype = 1 # 1 = Measurements, 2 = Outage, 3 = Rotation

Using the following code...

    while (<CONFIG>) {
        chomp;                  # no newline
        s/#.*//;                # no comments
        s/^\s+//;               # no leading white
        s/\s+$//;               # no trailing white
        next unless length;     # anything left?
        my ($var, $value) = split(/\s*=\s*/, $_, 2);
             $preferences{$var} = $value;
    }

The problem is that I don't know how to allocate variable attibutes in the Content part of the request... really its a formtting/syntax problem more than anything else.

Essentially, I want changes in the config file to be reflected in the POST ... if that makes sense!!!

All assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Andy
