Re: Doing a HTTP Post from rpg program

["Joep Beckeringh" <joep@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hm.  I can see the need for making requests from within a program, but I
think I'd go for the GET then.  For a POST I assume there has to be some
program in the server processing the posted information, so when I issue a
POST from within a program I would have to know what the other side expects.
That would become something like APPC over HTTP, or am I missing something?
