Re^8: Correct link to put in my WWW:Mechanize

Your code is bad. You need to quote strings (hash values). Additionally S1 parameter looks a bit strange with the new line embedded - are you sure?

Here is the curl equivalent of a successful run I did earlier (I broke the lines for readability). You can see that by opening developer tools on Firefox. I have done a successful submission using this from a Linux terminal:

curl 'http://www.csbio.sjtu.edu.cn/cgi-bin/MEMBRAIN.cgi' -H 'User-Agen
+t: XXX'
-H 'Accept: text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,imag
+e/webp,*/*;q=0.8'
-H 'Accept-Language: en-US,en;q=0.5' --compressed
-H 'Referer: http://www.csbio.sjtu.edu.cn/bioinf/MemBrain/'
-H 'Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded'
-H 'Origin: http://www.csbio.sjtu.edu.cn'
-H 'DNT: 1' -H 'Connection: keep-alive' -H 'Upgrade-Insecure-Requests:

--data-raw 'mode=string&S1=NTLRVPDILALVIFAVVFLVGVLGNALVVWVTAFEAKRTINAI

You can infere a couple of things from the above: 1) the correct POST params from --data-raw. 2) No cookies are required. So either continue with Mech but use the correct url and POST params or use LWP::UserAgent with a browser-like user-agent string

sarcasm on: if the cgi script you are accessing is also programmed by biologists all bets are on (off, whatever).
