I'm looking at the POST form on the Upload page to try and make simple Perl script to upload census scans. (I figure it will be simpler and more portable than UniUploader. And yes, if I can get it to work, I'll definitely open source it.)
In the POST form there are "name" fields for the Census file ("userfile") and the Killing Fields file ("bg_file"), but there don't seem to be any field for a WarcraftRealms username.
I'm guessing you're doing this with cookies right now, but is there any way to expose the username as a field in the POST form? Or is it already exposed, but just not used in the Upload script?
Uploading data via POST -- username?
You'll want to tie into the uniupload area instead.
URL: http://www.warcraftrealms.com/uniupload.php
POST variables:
CensusPlus - The Census data
WR_KillingFields - Killing fields data
user - your WR username
pw - your WR password
URL: http://www.warcraftrealms.com/uniupload.php
POST variables:
CensusPlus - The Census data
WR_KillingFields - Killing fields data
user - your WR username
pw - your WR password
phpbb:phpinfo()
Seeing the POST variables documented inspired me to whip up a script to compress & upload my own file. I was about to dig up how to do it in PHP when I remembered that the trusty old curl could submit as well as fetch URLs. I can post the shell script later if anyone is interested, but the username / password part of the upload doesn't seem to be working. Here's the relevant command: , and here's the output I'm receiving:
The only things modified are the password & IP address. Note that it did properly handle a gzipped file.
So, even though it seems to have found my username, it didn't like it or didn't find the password. Is it possible one or both of them are looking for variables with a different name?

Thanks, that helped me uncover a stupid error on my part (unescaped special characters). 
Now that I've fixed that, I am now seeing the following at the end of the response:

Note that a later submission (using the same curl code) was successful, and shows up in my "updates" list (it's the one at Feb 01, 09 01:41:18).
If you weren't working on the PHP script before that time, then I suppose it's just a transitory glitch.
