[R] Getting R to complete a web form

Dear R-Help,

I am testing a web based erosion model and I would like to get R to submit
the http requests.  Now I make the requests manually and use R to extract
the results by scan()ing a url() connection.  It would be nice if I could
fully automate the process.  Any ideas/examples?  The model uses perl
through CGI if that makes a difference.  The web form uses the post request
method.


With best wishes and kind regards I am

Sincerely,

Corey A. Moffet
