Need help finding way to request download by POST

[Matthias Bretz]

Hi, I need some help.

I'm trying to find a way to write a download-recipe for the software offered on this site (subsite: Descargas):

http://www.componentefirmacr.go.cr/componenteFirmaCR/#

At least I found that some java-functions (http://www.componentefirmacr.go.cr/componenteFirmaCR/js/functions.js) are calling an in time build form with POST action to http://www.componentefirmacr.go.cr/componenteFirmaCR/DownloadFile

This is the curl-command as far as I got but I can't get it to work:

curl -X POST -d "seq=362&email=useless&action=saveEmail&version=3.0.13" -H "Origin: http://www.componentefirmacr.go.cr/componenteFirmaCR/" http://www.componentefirmacr.go.cr/componenteFirmaCR/DownloadFile -o ~/Downloads/Installer.pkg

Any help would be highly appreciated.

Kind regards Matthias

Hi Matthias,

I solved two similar situations by creating *URLProvider processors. One is CorelURLProvider and one is ezeepURLProvider.

You're on the right track testing with `curl` first. Once you get a `curl` command that works, fitting it into the examples above should be straightforward.

With some help from the Chrome inspector, I had success with this:

curl 'http://www.componentefirmacr.go.cr/componenteFirmaCR/DownloadFile' \

  -X POST \

  --data-raw 'hidden_seq=362' \

  --compressed \

  --insecure \

  -o ~/Downloads/Installer.pkg

Thanks a lot Elliot,

guess I have to educate myself about using the Chrome inspector.

For the moment I had success with integrating a shell script for the download part.

Will now try to modify a custom processor to do the job.

Kind regards Matthias
