And webcopy. This a very useful perl script, which I've used before wget
came. The latest version is at
ftp://ftp.inf.utfsm.cl/pub/utfsm/perl/webcopy.tgz

The program documentation advises to DL the page which issues the POST
request, change the action to mailto and after that you have the file
which contains the POST data.

Another way would be some kind usage of Lynx. The latest versions writes
out the POST data on the Information Page. I do not know whether this will
make our job easier.
