Can I use wget to populate some forms in a web app if the web app requires a user to login? I’m trying to use wget in a script to send some data to a web app, but it appears the web app rejects the attempts because I am not logged in.

I think you would be better off using
curlinstead ofwget. Wget is meant more for downloading, not submitting forms.
