Thank you Brad!! It would be great if Scott could help, its his copy 
source we've used to validate the HTTP/HTML post and I can't get my head 
around how to pull out error details from it.

I will definitley try the debug option, that looks helpful and hoping that 
can point me into the direction I need to get this right.
