With the simpletest browser you only need to change those fields that
you are interested in ;) (No need to keep track of hidden stuff..)

<?php

ini_set('error_reporting', E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors', TRUE);
require_once('simpletest/browser.php');

$ua =& new SimpleBrowser;
$ua->get('http://thereference.dyndns.org:30000/MailPage.php');
$content = $ua->getContentAsText();
preg_match('#How much is (\d+) \+ (\d+) \?#', $content, $matches);
$ua->setField('humanSum', $matches[0][1] + $matches[0][2]);
$ua->setField('email', 'pester.1.timvw@spamgourmet.com');
$ua->setField('url', 'here we go...');
$ua->clickSubmit('Send email');

?>
