How do I fake clicking "accept" button on jsp page?

Hi,

I was trying to read a web page by using "get $url" in PERL, but it checked cookies and redirected to another confirmation page where users were asked to click on "AGREE" button. Is there any way that I can fake clicking on the button and read the page I need?

For example, if I want to read the page:
http://www.example.com/products/indices/stdindex/performance.jsp

and it will redirect to the following link and ask users to click button before proceeding to the content page.
http://www.example.com/about/indexdata_tou.jsp?/products/indices/stdindex/performance.jsp

I've tried UserAgent POST but it didn't work.
Thanks a lot.

You are after a "post". I don't think you can do that with the url you are using.

You could try a get, by trying to use a query string in the url that mimics the posted data.

You can look into curl if you are on *nix. It's a Unix utility, not Perl, but you should be able to embed it into a Perl script running on Unix/Linux/Mac.
