There are two ways to post data. I remember one way, but the other is
|
|
a little trickier. The simple way is to send up a URL encoded string
|
|
as the body of the request. The other is to send a multi-part mime
|
|
document. I suggest you go with the former if possible. A post would
|
|
look something like this:
|
|
|
|
POST /URI HTTP/1.0
|
|
Content-Length: octets
|
|
Content-Type: <nuts! I forget this one! See the CGI spec>
|
|
|
|
URL+Encoded+Data+as+name+value+pairs
|
|
|
|
|
|
A good thing to do would be to capture the output of an HTTP client
|
|
posting form data. Also see RFC-1945 and RFC-2068.

If you don't, I won't see it.

A LISP programmer knows the value of everything, but the cost of

nothing.
