The key word is the POST command in the dictionary.
Be sure to handle the issue of urlEncode-ing in your strings to avoid
parsing errors in the destination script operations, especially if
path names are sent.
Examples:
put urlEncode( "John" ) into tName
put urlEncode( "Hello" ) into tMessage
--now do key-value pairs
get libUrlFormData("name", tName,"message", tMessage)
post IT to url "http://www.someserver.com/cgi-bin/form.php";
--In this case, the data posted to the url will look like this:
name=John&message=Hello
The function accepts variable numbers of parameters and treats them as
key-value pairs. The first parameter is the name of the first form
part, the second the value of the first part, the third is the name of
the second part, and so on.
Note: When using 'post' ... the Content-Type header is set to "Content-
Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" by default. There is no need
to set the httpHeaders unless you have previously set the Content-Type
header to something else.
In order to fully emulate a post command coming from a web page, you
may need to set the headers to match by using
libURLSetCustomHTTPHeaders

I want to use *post* from Rev to emulate their button code. How do I
structure the "data" string of a Rev Post command to emulate the
above? And,
do I need to change the httpHeaders Property to emulate it coming
from a
webpage?
