Re: Troubleshooting a POST

[Scott Klement <sk@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Is it possible that the total size of your URL (with the XML data added, 
etc) is more than 32k?

Have you created a debug file?  Does the data in that file look correct?

I'm a little baffled, because you're referring to this as a POST -- but 
instead of sending the data as POST data, you're sending it as part of 
the URL -- something that's normally only done with the GET method (not 
the POST method).
