By default, it's in the IFS under /tmp/httpapi_debug.txt

But, you can specify an IFS pathname on the http_debug() call, so you 
can send it anywhere you like.  For example:

      http_debug(*on: '/home/scott/debug.txt');

Several improvements/bug fixes to the debug file support have been added 
to the current BETA version of HTTPAPI.  It might be worth a try if 
you're having problems.

A timeout wouldn't return 1.  This is clearly not a timeout issue. 
(Timeout issues are rather rare in my experience, anyway...  not sure 
why you even brought it up.)

Aside from the debug file, the other place to look is in your 'retdata' 
variable... what does it say there?

The way you're encoding it is rather strange, but I don't see any reason 
why it wouldn't work?

But, please understand this:   Every web page is different.  Every web 
service is different.  No two sites work the same!   Having experience 
with HTTPAPI doesn't tell me how you have to format the data for your 
particular site.  To know that, you need to be familiar with the site 
(or have documentation, or have a WSDL)
