Re: posting to URL from RPG

[Scott Klement <sk@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Tripp,

Are you sure you want to POST to a form?  I ask that because you're not 
using the POST data at all.  What's the point of doing a POST if you're 
not going to use POST data?

Why not do a GET like a browser does?

the weird thing is... you are sending your response file to the web 
server.  WTF?!  So whatever you downloaded last time, you want to upload 
it the subsequent time?
