Chain with http post - shedis - 2013-02-01 20:26

Hi,
I using a gpxe script which contains a following command:
chain http://myserver/bootme.php?mac=${net0/mac}&user=${username:uristring}&pwd=${password:uristring}

above chain command invokes http get request, is it possible to perform a http post request when using chain command?

Regards,

As was mentioned recently on the mailing-list, iPXE does not support HTTP POST. But it does support HTTP Basic Auth, and if you combine that with HTTPS your passwords shouldn't end up in logs.

Yup that way should be fine too. Many thanks!
