Posting to third party PHP form?

Hi everyone,

I am writing a windows application (windows forms) to recreate some search requests to third party
websites. These sites allow me to search for cars with the given car name, model year, etc. The websites 
that use url encoded parameters are easy to implement.

A few of the sites however do NOT use url encoded parameters, meaning the url remains fixed nomatter 
what search values I set in the page fields.

In order to recreate this search, I tried using http POST using querystrings and namevaluecollection pairs 
using the names/ids of their controls without result. I examined the cookies the site has stored for the search 
parameters without luck too. I was not able to examine Session variables since this does not exist in windows apps.

After viewing the source of the search page, I reached to the definition of the php form which is responsible 
for the post. 

	<form name="form2" method="post" action="auto_trform.php">

And within this form are the definitions of the controls you use to set search parameters.

	<input name="select_year1" type="text" class="champsimple" id="year1" size="4" maxlength="4">
	<p class="intitulesep">Prix maximum<br>                      	
		<input type="text" name="select_prix" maxlength="8" class="champlarge">

I wish to post to this form after setting the values of these fields, recreating what the browser is doing exactly.

Thank you for your time guys it is really appreciated.

Best Regards

James
