Hi Ryan,
I don't understand why you are having problems (haven't followed this
thread).
I am routinely using the following function with POST under an Apache
Webserver on Linux using REBOL/Core current stable version and it works
without complaints every time:
retrieve-user-data: func [] [
return decode-cgi
either system/options/cgi/request-method = "POST" [
input
][
either system/options/cgi/query-string [
system/options/cgi/query-string
][
""
]
]
]
Which problems are you having?
Take Care,
Elan
