I do think so, too. But i'm not confessed that the RPG is right :-)

And you have an empty line after it?
something like contenttype + CRLF + CRLF ?

This is definitely not a JavaScript issue.

500 means that there has been a problem on the server.

Normally, when i receive 500's, i have something wrong in my RPG programs.
Check out the joblog of your HTTP-server jobs. (When you used defaults,
then you can use WRKACTJOB JOB(DEFAULT) to find them.) User is QTMHHTTP.
When you're the only user, it's the BCI-job with more than 0.0 CPU seconds.

That is another issue. But you won't see anything else than the 500,
nothing that helps you. Just for statistical purposes.

Well, that proves that the second program is working, not necessarily the
first one. Could be security issues etc.
