Hi,
I'm only beginning to use scotty, and I am very impressed by its
capabilities. For us, it will allow to monitor our web applications.
However, in order to do so, I must use the HTTP POST command. Here's what
the man page says:

http post url docFileName fileName
The http post command posts the document in docFileName
to the location url. The body of the returned document
is written to the file named fileName. The command
returns the HTTP header as described for the http head
command above.

1) What is the format of the data to be used in docFileName? I've tried
differrent possibilities (even HTML docs) and couldn't find out.

2) The ouput of the transaction always gets written in both fileName and
docFileName. Anyway to circumvent this?

BTW, I am using scotty2.1.5
Thank you very much,
