Hi Kaustav, Take out all the stuff before "Content-Type". Those are valid HTTP instructions, but they are the base HTTP instructions already provided by the <@URL> (behind the scenes), so what you've done is duplicated a bunch of the instructions. This trick is only intended for extra HTTP info over and above the base set.
You should get an HTTP sniffer (google it) to see the actual instructions, you'll learn a lot about how to customize your <@URL> postings. Good luck. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Scott Cadillac, Xmlx Software [EMAIL PROTECTED] (403) 254-5002 http://www.xmlx.net/ XML-Extranet P.O.
