ok- I understand http/1.0 and some of http/1.1 and the GET request as it is sent to the server. How does one make a POST request? I assume it''s like this: POST http/X.X then what? are the variables pairs on there own lines, like so: foovar=foo boovar=boo or are they separated some other way? Thanks, Ranger

You can use a packet sniffer like Ethereal to see what''s being sent through your connection. Just monitor it while you post something then see what the packet looks like and copy it.
