Hey Stefan,
I dont quite understand what your trying to do, but I will try to give you some
information you may be able to use anyways.
As you should already know HTTP servers take information from forms and pass it
to a CGI program using POST or GET. The GET request can pass data via URL
encoding such as "www.foobar.com/test.cgi?test=on".
With POST, your data is sent additionally, not as part of a URL. This prevents
your data from being viewed or entered as a URL, and as I understand was inpart
the reason they came up with POST.
Hope I helped,
