Re: Redirect problem

[Scott Klement <sk@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Jim,

Currently HTTPAPI handles two types of requests, GET and POST.

A GET request is what a browser normally does.  It involves sending a 
URL (that can, optionally, have parameters encoded into it) to a site, 
and downloading a file in response.

A POST request involves sending a URL, uploading a file, then 
downloading a file.  This is used for some types of HTML forms, and is 
commonplace in SOAP web services where it's necessary to upload an XML 
document as part of the request.

So, I'm trying to understand your scenario. (If I get this wrong, please 
understand that all web services are different -- and I'm not familiar 
with the one you're calling.)

You are uploading 80 blanks, and encoding all of the useful input data 
in the URL? That seems like an odd thing to do.   Is it possible that 
you should be using a GET request?  Or does this web service require the 
80 blanks?
