The original versions of HTTPAPI had a 256A (non-varying) field for the 
URL, so it was necessary to always trim the blanks from the end of it. 
When I upgraded that to the 32k VARYING field, I decided to leave the 
%TRIM so that if someone's existing program was passing a fixed-length 
variable, they won't have to change their code, it'll just trim them.

Plus, if there are no blanks at the end (in a VARYING field) it'll take 
practically no time to do the trim, since there's nothing to do... so it 
really doesn't hurt to leave it.
