It appears like the problem is Poster. It doesn't seem to send the POST data
to the program. Can anyone suggest a different program or Firefox extension
that can be used for testing programs like this? Free is preferred.

I have been using the below listed article [1] to figure out how to pass

CONTENT_LENGTH. It always seems to return 0. We are on V5R4.

if (reqMethod = 'POST' and nContentLen > 0);
//if (reqMethod = 'POST');
cgiParse('-i ':'CGII0100': cgiBuffer: %size(cgiBuffer) :

return nBytesRead;

I am claiming stupid here so I am not sure what I maybe doing wrong. I am
using Poster (a Mozilla plugin)(http://code.google.com/p/poster-extension/)
to test POST to this program.
