Re: Doing a HTTP Post from rpg program

["Brad Stone" <brad@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You don't have a choice on your end if it's is GET or POST,
really.  It's the server side that lets you know if one or
either or both will work.

Making a POST request is not that different from making a
GET request.  Just a few more parms in the HTTP header
portion of the request being made.
