PowerShell v3 Invoke-WebRequest: Troubles with forms

Question

Since I upgraded to Windows 8 a lot of my PowerShell scripts relying on launching an invisible IE won’t quite work anymore, so I tried switching to the Invoke-WebRequest

Answer 1

Try doing the post directly e.g.:

$formFields = @{username='john doe';password='123'}
Invoke-WebRequest -Uri $myUrl -Method Post -Body $formFields -ContentType "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"
