randomly generated words to a form using curl
What I want to achieve is to post a form containing 3 fields (forename, surname and email) to a url, but i want the entries to be randomly generated. I want to generate a random word using;
{head /dev/urandom | tr -dc A-Za-z | head -c 13 ; echo '' }
I then want to insert the output into a
{curl -x post -f}
in the forename field and then repeat random word generation for the surname field.
Then finally i would like to add "forename+surname+@gmail.com" and insert the output into the email field.
I dont want someone to write it for me just teach me what i need to learn to make the script work.
