I've been using HTTPtracer on Windows to monitor HTTP
traffic. It is one of the best designed programs I've
ever used. When POSTING data to PWS/ASP/Access I
noticed that I could POST from Netscape/Microsoft but
not from Metacard. With HTTPtracer I discovered that
the POST from Netscape/Microsoft actually goes in two
parts. First it POSTS the headers, then it POSTS the
data, in a following message. I concluded that
Metacard just POSTS once, so the data doesn't get
through.
