You need to use the POSTARGS or
POSTARGARRAY attribute of @URL
Excerpt from @URL Docs
“When the POSTARGS
or POSTARGARRAY attribute
is present, the type of
HTTP request issued by the <@URL>
meta tag changes to POST from
GET”

Subject: Witango-Talk: @URL
problems
I'm trying to post
information to a ColdFusion .cfm page using the @URL tag but for some reason
the ColdFusion is not recognizing the HTTP content as POST arguments.
I created a simple ColdFusion page to to display the HTTP headers, HTTP
content, and value of a form/post argument.
------ post_to_me.cfm ------
<cfparam name="form.state" default="">
<cfoutput>
<cfdump var="#GetHTTPRequestData().headers#">
----- -----<br>
#GetHTTPRequestData().content#<br>
----- -----<br>
state = #form.state#<br>
----------------------------------
I tried three different methods of posting once just with a form in a web page,
then with CURL, and finally with the @URL tag in Witango.
These are the responses I received for each post type:
Safari web page through html form.

@URL doesn't pass as much header information, especially no the Content-Type
header.
Is there a way to set extra header parameters besides from, and useragent? Or
does anyone have any other ideas why @URL is not working?
