Thanks John, Narinda Chandi points out Miyako’s URL_Encode component https://github.com/miyako/4d-tips-encode-uri <https://github.com/miyako/4d-tips-encode-uri>, which appears to be a product of the forum thread you referenced. In that component Miyako discusses and supports 5 ways to encode, each with different rules. At this point I just manually concatenate all the keys and values into a URL encoding each key or value as needed. The HTTP Request command docs state that the contents parameter is automatically encoded but evidently not in the way that I need.
I must confess I don’t understand any of this stuff. I recall struggling years ago trying to make an HTTP POST work with 4DIC. Hours of trial and error, because I simply didn’t (and still don’t) understand the underlying concepts. I figured it might be easier now that we have HTTP Request. I was kind hoping there’d be a nice ORDA way to populate a “content" object and send it on it’s way. If that’s possible, I’ve missed it.
