Source: 

Hemanth.HM 

Assume that you have a form , in the source look for something similar to :

input name="rid"  type="TEXT"
input name="submit" value="SUBMIT" type="SUBMIT" align="center"

Then , based on your needs select any of the methods to POST the data to the form and get the required results back

Using curl :

curl -s -d "rid=value%&submit=SUBMIT" <URL> > out.html

Using Python :

#!/usr/bin/env python
import urllib
# URL to post to
url = 'URL'
values = {'rid':    rid, 
            'submit': 'SUBMIT'}
 
html = urllib.urlopen(url, urllib.urlencode(values)).read()
print html

Using Lynx to dump data :

 curl -sd 'rid=1ap05cs013&submit=SUBMIT' <URL> | lynx -dump -nolist -stdin > out.html
