Well, you can't with my host site, as I've explained to many a subscriber.
Send the command as multiprt/alternative or text/html, etc., and you will
get a "command not found" type job output.

Depends on the version being run, perhaps (the host site is 1.8e, without
the Dec. 2002 Level Set, or any subsequent changes)?  There is a bit of
irony there in that the Dec. 2002 Level Set contained a restoration of a
feature of GETPOST commands which I had lobbied heavily for, but I, and my
subscribers, haven't benefited as the level set was never installed.

Word is, the host site will install 14.4 later this summer.  Will
commands sent with Content-Type: multipart/alternative, text/html, etc.,
then be recognized and processed, rather than returning the "no command
found" error message?
