Can't POST login for Contao website

Hello,
I try to post a form to log into a site built using Contao.
Instead of the usual referrer type login, Contao generates a token, that must be included like:

<input type="hidden" name="REQUEST_TOKEN" value="51ffe68a72a1c96b535619fb4500a538">

A full Form POST would look like:
FORM_SUBMIT=tl_login&REQUEST_TOKEN=51ffe68a72a1c96b535619fb4500a538&username=AnyName&password=AnyPWD

WebCopy seems to be using static forms. Or is there a way I can build a proper response using the Request_Token?

Herbert

P.S. the source of the form looks like this:
<form action="archiv.html" id="tl_login" method="post">
   <div class="formbody">
        <input type="hidden" name="FORM_SUBMIT" value="tl_login">
        <input type="hidden" name="REQUEST_TOKEN" value="51ffe68a72a1c96b535619fb4500a538">
      <table>
      <tr class="row_0 row_first">
      <td class="col_0 col_first"><label for="username">Benutzername</label></td>
      <td class="col_1 col_last"><input type="text" name="username" id="username" class="text" value=""></td>
      </tr>
      <tr class="row_1">
      <td class="col_0 col_first"><label for="password">Passwort</label></td>
      <td class="col_1 col_last"><input type="password" name="password" id="password" class="text password" value=""></td>
      </tr>
      <tr class="row_2 row_last">
      <td class="col_0 col_first">&nbsp;</td>
      <td class="col_1 col_last"><div class="submit_container"><input type="submit" class="submit" value="Anmelden"></div></td>
            </tr>
      </table>
     </div>
</form>

Herbert,

Unfortunately, as you have surmised WebCopy currently doesn't handle dynamic tokens, but only the fixed values you provide.

An enhancement was logged about 6 months ago to read the existing form data and construct the full message by combining your values with theirs, but this hasn't been done yet. Typically I can't give you a time frame yet as I'm still trying to work out the cause of a couple of bugs that aren't being picked up by our own tests.

Sorry for the inconvenience. Seems to be all I say on these forums, never any good news!

Regards;
Richard Moss
