i'd like to add it to screenshot captor tool menu.

 :) I think wget --post-data=string should work. All that needs to be done is build the right post string from the <form></form> data on each site.

wget can be found at http://users.ugent.be/~bpuype/wget/

it shouldn't be too much harder than using wget, however the tool needs to check for the url returned by the image hosting service and report it (or copy it to clipboard), or display an error if upload was unsuccessful.

 :tellme: Wget should return a html file, which could be searched for the url or error message.
