SID-01930: Help using SAVE script for auto update

Status:	Answered	TWiki version:	6.0.0	Perl version:
Category:	CategoryAPI	Server OS:		Last update:	11 years ago

It seems i'm supposed to be able to do:

curl -v -X POST --form "text=foo;name=ABC;method=post;username=maxabrahams;password=XXX" /twiki-link/twiki/bin/save/Sandbox/ABC

to make a new topic ABC or update ABC if it exits

but it doesn't work. Any advice?

Shell Dump:

curl -v -X POST --form "text=foo;name=ABC;method=post;username=maxabrahams;password=XXX" /twiki-link/twiki/bin/save/Sandbox/ABC

As you can see TWiki redirects to the login page. I am not familiar with curl, not sure how to handle login sessions with curl.

Did you see the ConnectByRestPlugin?

I am glad it worked out (via TWikiIRC.)
