Scott-

Thanks for the help turns out I had an old version (1.10), who knew the instructions were so important to read. :)

Thanks for putting this together, with it I think I can show the company that RPG ain't quite dead yet.

p.s. You did issue this under GNU licensing, right?

Hi Michael,

A few thoughts:

a) There was a problem like this in some older versions of HTTPAPI.
(I think version 1.11 was the last one with the problem, but I'm not 100%
sure). Please make sure you're running version 1.15.

b) The content-type field is simply converted to ASCII and sent to the
server. HTTPAPI does not try to interpret it's contents, and doesn't do
anything differently when you change it. However, the server may be using
this field, and it may be sending something differently that could be
confusing HTTPAPI? or vice-versa.

c) A debugging log might provide me with additional insight.

d) The best way for me to see what's going on is to tell me how to
reproduce the problem. Unfortunately, the code you posted isn't enough
information for me to take your program and run it.
