Authenticate Using WGET Tool

[Jibran]

I am looking to string test a website using wget tool. I need to post data using wget. The form tab of the login page is as follows:

<FORM ACTION="../../servlet/AuthenticationServlet" METHOD="POST" NAME="LogonForm" onSubmit="saveCustomerNumber(document.LogonForm.customerNumber.value); return waitedFor(3)">
            <INPUT Name="customHeader" type="hidden" value="">
 
            <!-- start inner table 1 in the 2nd column -->
                    <TABLE BORDER="0" WIDTH="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2">
                        <TR>
                        <td width="30%"></td>
                        <TD class="defaultText" width="23%" ALIGN="right" bgcolor="#F3F3F3" nowrap>Customer number:</TD>
                        <TD class="defaultText" width="20%" bgcolor="#F3F3F3">
                          <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">    
                               document.write("<INPUT NAME=customerNumber TYPE=TEXT SIZE=9 MAXLENGTH=9 ");
                               document.write("VALUE=" + getCustomerNumber(this.form) + ">");
                          </SCRIPT>    
                        </TD>
                        <td>&nbsp;</td>
                        </TR>
                        <TR>
                        <td width="30%"></td>
                        <TD class="defaultText" width="23%" ALIGN="right" bgcolor="#F3F3F3">PIN:</TD>
                        <TD class="defaultText" width="20%" bgcolor="#F3F3F3"><INPUT TYPE="password" SIZE="17" MAXLENGTH="15" NAME="Password"></TD>
                        <td></td>
                        </tr>
                    </TABLE>
 
                <TABLE BORDER="0" CELLPADING="3" CELLSPACING="8">
                    <TR>
                    <TD valign="top">  
                    <br>          
        <!-- define LOGON button -->
                        <INPUT Name="Role" type="hidden" value="Member">
                        <INPUT class="defaultText" NAME="Login" TYPE="submit" VALUE="Login">

The name of the login page is loginmember.jsp so my command looks as follows:
wget --post-data="customerN umber=XXXXX&Pas sword=XXXX&Logi n=Login" http://www.example.com/passport/loginmember.jsp .

When I execute this command; it seems to be downloading loginmember.jsp all the time and no authentication seems to take place. Authentication doesn't seem to take place. Please help; this command is been executed in a windows environment.

Anyone with wget experience.

I've never used wget to post data but this is the wrong board anyway.
