It doesn't look like anything changed to me...

Okay, but that's a GET request, not a POST request. Whenever the data is
encoded into the URL itself by placing a question mark, and following it
with variables, all in the URL, that's a GET request. That's not a POST
request.
If you do
http_url_get_raw(
'http://www.twcs.com/artvan/sample4.asp?appreq=Hello':
: 1: %paddr('INCOMING'))
You get the same results as you do in the web browser. Why? Because
they're both doing GET requests -- which was exactly the same thing I told
you in the following message:

What has changed?

No. That's not true. The following is a very simple HTML web page that
you can use to type data and have your browser send it (with the POST
method) to the server.
I just tried it, and I get zero bytes back, just like I did with HTTPAPI.
Are you getting different results with a POST request than I am?
