Using [] in the POST data will not create ranges the way you want to.

I would write it up using perl:

foreach $l1 ('a' .. 'z') {
    foreach $l2 ('a' .. 'z') {
        foreach $l3 ('a' .. 'z') {
            foreach $l4 ('a' .. 'z') {
                system("curl yadayadaa...?moo=$l1$l2$l3$l4");
            }
        }
    }
}

Or if you prefer a one-liner:

map {$a=$_; map {$b=$_; map {$c=$_; map { system("curl yada?moo=$c$b$a$_");} \
('a' .. 'z')} ('a' .. 'z')} ('a' .. 'z');} ('a' .. 'z');

I'm sure your favourite language also has a way of doing it.
