Can't get HTPostFormAbsolute to work

Hello,


I am trying to make a small program using libwww-5.1m which is able
to post a few values to a server and then save the result in a file.
basically the same example as the example :
  w3c-libwww-5.1m/Library/Example/LoadToFile.c
Just using the POST method.
  
Could one of you please tell me what I am doing wrong.

Thanks alot,

Henrik
