I am trying to avoid using the url because of the 4k limit on length.
I have got post working in Java using the data format im my earlier post. This
appears to have no problems.
The importnant question is, will I need a special format of script on the other end to
understand the data?
One a budget of $0 i've been able to get php to do all my server scripting. I have NO
xml experience and can't
seem to make sense of the Mozilla documentation. I found the nsIInputStream code
during my initial research but
couldn't see how to create such a value in JS.
I also found this doc:
http://unstable.elemental.com/mozilla/build/latest/mozilla/extensions/dox/class_nsIDOMParser.html
if makes refernece to something that look like it should be the solutin to all my
problems, but again I can't
find any docs on howw to create it in JS.
