If your POST is not URL encoded, then the proxy server will partially URL
encode it for you, with sometimes interesting results ;>  But, I have never
seen extra non-printable characters appended.

You can test this for yourself.  We put together two links to test the
partial URL encoding etc. awhile back:


http://207.175.161.68/scripts/posttext.dll
http://207.175.161.68/scripts/postpage.dll

The first link echoes the posted data, along with a count.  It is in raw
text with a newline char inserted every 18 chars (for easy palm display).
The second link is the same thing but returns an HTTP page instead of raw
text.  Sending the following from a Palm VII:

"This is a test\rTesting 1, 2, 3..."

Returns:

Rcvd: 39
This+is+a+test%0DT
esting+1%2C+2%2C+3
...

Which includes no extra chars at the end, but does show the partial URL
encoding (space to +, other chars expanded to %xx, etc.)

Good Luck,
-jjf

Subject: INetLib routines


Hi all,

First I'd like to thank everyone who has replied to my previous post about
disabled button, your answers have been most helpful!

Now a different question about the INetLib calls.  I'm sending a POST
request using the INetGo routine in the INetLow sample.  The POST string in
the INetLibSockHTTPReqSend call looks correct.  However when it gets to the
server, there are 2 extra characters (line feed & carriage return) got
appended to the end of the request, and this confuses the server to no end.
Has anybody seen this before?  What can I do to stop these extra characters
from being sent?

Thanks so much!
Khanh.
