I would be nutty to make the regular file protocol handler in LWP do something with posted data. There must be some way for the POST end-point to define the semantics of this operation. There is no natural default. If this is just for rigging a test, you could just set up you own handling code with LWP::Protocol::implementor() and then use whatever scheme name you want. --Gisle
