Re: HTTPAPI problem
Sender: michaelr_41@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Sorry for that last bad post...
When I don't have any spaces or special characters in the string in the
URL, it comes back fine. If I do (as you mentioned), I have to escape
them.
I'm going to contact the developer on the other end and inform him that
he needs to handle the POST method instead of the GET method.
Thanks for the help.
