I use a program to update my IP to a dns server called FMIP v1.2 (Follow Me IP) but the software is for Windows and I want to put it on my linux box because its always on. Since the guy releases the source code for the software, I figured out how the software works and what it does. It seems relatively simple, it basically calls a PHP page on the site with the user name and password (ex.
http://www.fmip.org/process.php?logi...assword=mypass), this should cross platform easily. However, in my attempts to recreate this effect in Linux has been disheartening. I figure the easiest way would be to call to the prossess.php with lynx and dump whatever output to a file and placing this command in the crontab to keep it up-to-date. For some reason this will not work. The lynx dump outputs "102", witch is, if I'm not mistaken, and error for incorrect password. But when I run lynx and paste the exact same URL in, everything goes fine, I get the output "100" and my IP. I've tried this with several command-line based web browsers (ex. wget and zen) and get the same results. Any ideas?
