AbraCadaver Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 In short, this is why they have this value so you can't do what you're trying to do Most likely they are sending a cookie on the first request and storing the hidden value in a session tied to that cookie on the remote server. Then when you post the server is requesting the cookie to identify the session and looking up the value and comparing it with what is submitted on the form. You may be able to accept and present cookies with curl to get it to work but I have never used cookies with curl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
