option --POST-FILE

[patrick moire]

hello, I would like to do conversion tests with wkhtmltopdf and I need to send data in POST. In the notice, I saw an  command line  option --POST-FILE , but I couldn't find an example showing the structure of such a file. Thanks

I just understood that the --post-file option is not a file containing a list of POST fields but the post of a file...

One way to handle this is to use a program like curl or httpie that will submit the POST and save the resulting html , and then feed that into wkhtmltopdf with the appropriate base url. Or create a proxy that will translate wkhtmltopdf's GET into a POST with the appropriate fields.

You don't need to use --post-file. You need to use --post field value, possibly multiple times. For instance, if you need to post the fields "username" and "password", your command line might include:

wkhtmltopdf --post username infocentre --post password swordfish http://secret.website.example.com/login/

As usual, use quote/escape if it includes spaces or special characters.
