You're making this harder on yourself than you have to! Just build one big
string containing your form post. If you're using CF 5, you can use the
CFSAVECONTENT tag for this to make it a tiny bit easier:
<cfsavecontent variable="myformpost">
POST /myTest.cfm
Accept: image/gif, image/x-xbitmap, image/jpeg, image/pjpeg,
application/vnd.ms-powerpoint, application/vnd.ms-excel,
application/msword, */*
Accept-Language: en-us,ja;q=0.5
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows NT 5.0)
Host: laptop.mgmtcourses.cognitivearts.com
Content-Length: 61
Pragma: no-cache
Cookie: CFID=732; CFTOKEN=36216386
[EMAIL PROTECTED]&Name=Osama&Action=Submit
</cfsavecontent>
<cfset obj.SendRN(myformdata)>
There are a couple of points worth noting. First, the only thing separating
the form data from the HTTP header is two carriage returns. Second, the
Content-Length header should match the string length of the form data.
