Subject: Using curl to post new entries 

Hey,

i'm trying to use curl to post new entries to our logbook as described here: https://elog.psi.ch/elogs/Forum/68597.
The Elog is installed via the Deban package on Buster.
I created a test logbook with attributes Author, Type, Category and Subject.

curl -u florian:foobaa -F cmd=Submit -F Author=Florian -F Type=Diary -F Category=General -F Subject="testing curl" -F Text="foo baa" http://localhost:8080/test

<tr><td class="login_form">
<span class="overlay_wrapper">
<label for="uname" id="uname" class="overlabel">Username</label>
<input type="text" class="login_input" name="uname" value="" title="Username" onInput="document.getElementById('uname').style.display='none';">
</span></td></tr>
<tr><td class="login_form">
<span class="overlay_wrapper">
<label for="upassword" id="upassword" class="overlabel">Password</label>
<input type="password" class="login_input" name="upassword" onInput="document.getElementById('upassword').style.display='none';">
</span></td></tr>
<tr><td align=center class="login_form"><input type=checkbox checked name=remember value=1>
Keep me logged in on this computer
for the next 31 days or until I log out</td></tr>
<tr><td align=center class="login_form">
<a href="?cmd=Forgot">Forgot password?</a></td></tr>
<tr><td align=center class="login_form_bottom"><input type="submit" class="login_submit" value="Submit"></td></tr></table>
<center><a class="bottomlink" title="Goto ELOG home page" href="https://midas.psi.ch/elog/">ELOG V3.1.3-7933898</a></center></form></body></html>

 

As you can see, curl only prints the login page of the logbook and no new entry has been created. Any suggestions what might go worng here?

Regards,
Florian
