[TriLUG] seeking WGET assistance, maybe LYNX is the answer ??

[Turnpike Man]

I am connecting to a temp/humidity device with embedded web server.  It comes
with a win32 based HTTPGET.exe proggy that has 2 switches in it that I need,
but I don't want to use win32, plus the alarm portion requires Outlook to be
installed with a working profile on the monitoring machine, which would be a
server and I don't wanna do that.

So it would seem WGET would be a Linux replacement I could find such switches
in, but I'm having not so good luck.  Here's the description of the WGET
switches I'm seeking:

1.  raw mode (no HTTP headers)  {-r in HTTPGET}
2.  POST string to URL  {-S in HTTPGET}

Then I'm going to append the results onto to a txt file, or better yet, to a
database where I add a new row each time I grab results.  Maybe LYNX is another
possible solution??

The HTTPGET get proggy sends a command like this to retrieve output:
httpget -r -S "*SRT\r" ip.ad.dr.es:1000
(where \r = carriage return termination character)

thanks in advance,
David
