I can't seem to confirm if the "post" (as opposed to "cont") check actually works correctly in Hobbit 4.2.0 (latest patches applied). More specifically, I'm not sure if Hobbit is actually correctly submitting the form data. If I click on the "post" column, the webpage Hobbit is displaying is the page with the submission form, and not the result of the posting to that form. In fact, if I change the regular expression to search for content that is only available on the submission form, and not the resulting page if the form data is submitted, the content check is green. So it seems Hobbit isn't submitting the form data properly.
The only thing I noticed is that the example given in the Hobbit bb-hosts man page showed an input field of "type=text", but the input field on the form I'm testing uses "type=input". I can't imagine that should be a reason for this to not work, but is it possible?
