Yes, the read/custom and open/custom is very useful, some pages needs to be accesed
only from some pages so the 'Referer and 'Host in the header must be set
correctly, I'm using for example this code (and will have to add this
to my %reb-web-bot.r script as well):
This is not complete code, because first I want to make some code
cleaning before puclicating it:-) only important parts are here now:
port: open/direct/binary/custom http://www2.eurotel.cz/sms/index.html?n_pagestyle=new2

]
probe port/locals
cookie: port/locals/headers/set-cookie
buffer: make binary! 8000
set-modes port/sub-port [lines: false binary: true no-wait: true]
until [
if not data: wait [60 port/sub-port] [data: true break]
if data: copy port/sub-port [append buffer data]
not data
]
close port
;some page parsing is here.....
;...after the parsing I have: poststr with the url-encoded postdata
;so I can send them:
print read/custom rejoin [http:// port/host %/sms/index.html] x: compose/deep [

close port
print buffer: to-string buffer
