it receives it as post. here is the result and a snippet from the php code:
Note that there is nothing in these requests.
Contents of $_GET:
Contents of $_POST:
Contents of $_COOKIE:
Contents of $_REQUEST:
Contents of $_SERVER:
...
REQUEST_METHOD = POST
QUERY_STRING =
...
// from php file
foreach ($_SERVER as $k => $v) {
print " $k = $v\n";
}
I can send you the full output offlist.

Did the PHP page see the method as GET or POST?

Hi Peter,
I'm using srv.send(). I posted to a PHP page that dumps the submitted
value and it looks like it goes through because I get the xml back (in a
single line).
So what does this all mean? Can a HTTPService call over http talk to a
xml-rpc page like the one used on Wordpress blogs? If you have a blog you
should be able to change the url to point to your blog and get the same
results.
