[ale] OT: Website Input

[JD]

I have to admit, I don't really understand what you are trying to accomplish,
but I would use something like Perl WWW::Mechanize.  There is a perl module that
will translate whatever you have and whatever you need, you'd only need to write
the in-between code.

Or I'm completely missing the point and curl can do it. ;)
