Automatically Post New Discussion

Apreche

Hi, I'm still using a Vanilla 1 forum, and I want to setup another web application (Python/django) running on another server to automatically post new discussions to the Vanilla 1 forum.

I don't really need help with the Python parts, I just need help with the HTTP parts. What fields/data do I need to post to which URL in order to make it happen? Also, I somehow have to grab the discussion ID when it's done, so I can link to it. Thanks.

Using cURL to post a file at the same time, I use:

form_data = [
("PostBackAction", "SaveComment"),
("FormPostBackKey", formPostBackKey),
("DiscussionID", fileDiscussionID),
("Body", fileBody),
("file", (pycurl.FORM_FILE, filePath))
]

to post at http://forum.domain.name/post.php

And you I parse a page right before to get the FormPostBackKey.
