I want to post data from a RunRev application to a web page that
will manipulate them.
Let's say data1, containing "Hello" and data 2 "World"...
How do I setup the httpHeaders property and the data argument in the
post instruction?
Where can I find more info about setting up http headers for
get/post procedures?
on mouseUp
    put "Hello" into data1
    put "World" into data2
    set the httpHeaders to ???
    post ??? to URL http://www.mysite.org/php/test.php
end mouseUp
Thanks in adavance to all!

You'll need to know what form of data the server is expecting. If
you're trying to reproduce something in a web page, you should be
able to look in the html page source and find the various data fields that
are sent with the request.
If it's a typical url form you want to emulate, then the data you
need to post usually looks like this:
"field_1=value&field_2=value&field_3=value"

So if the field names are "data1" and "data2" then you could try
something like this:
   put "data1=Hello&data2=World" into tData
   post tData to url "htpp://whatever..."
   if the result is not empty then
     answer the result
   else
    put it into field "response" ##or whatever
   end if
You shouldn't need to set the httpHeaders. By default, the
"Content-Type" header is set to "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"
for post requests.
Cheers
