Hi Henerik, Thanks for your quick response to my mail. I have been trying to move forward with your suggestions and as yet not have been able to come up with a solution. In order to make things more clear I have below included an example of what I am trying to do. I would appreciate if you could help me out. First of all I used the command line on my terminal to connect and download from a server using the POST method. The results are shown in a). below. After that I tried to use your tool (w3c) to perform the same operation. This is shown in b). below. The results of the w3c command are: Read (100% of 1k) Written(266% of 1k) Written(100% of 1k) Finished. The result is I did not receive any document. If the program gets the document where does it put it ? In any case could you please tell me what am I doing wrong? I expect to fetch some document as a result of the w3c command. Also, how should I send the Content-type, Content-length and the query string? I also tried adding content-type and Content-length headers to the file "query.txt". Thanks again for your time and effort. Best Regards; Poonam Mehtani. ****************************************************************************** a).

Accepted for publication, available as Tech Note 550, Artificial Intelligence Center, SRI International. <BLOCKQUOTE><B>Abstract: </B>We present a framework for 3--D surface reconstruction that can be used to model fully 3--Dimensional scenes from an arbitrary number of stereo views taken from vastly different viewpoints. This is a key step toward producing 3--D world-descriptions of complex scenes using stereo and is a very challenging problem: real-world scenes tend to contain many 3--D objects, they do not usually conform to the 2-1/2--D assumption made by traditional algorithms, and one cannot take it for granted that the computed 3--D points can easily be clustered into separate groups. Furthermore, stereo data is often incomplete and sometimes erroneous,! which makes the problem even m <P> <hr> <STRONG><IMG SRC="/icons/back.xbm" ALT="Back to"> <A HREF="/pubs/">AIC Publications Page</A> | <A HREF="/">AIC Home Page</A></STRONG> <hr> <font size=2> <b> <address><A HREF="mailto:bibmaster@www.ai.sri.com">bibmaster@www.ai.sri.com</A></address> <br> </b> <br> </font> </body> </html> Connection closed by foreign host. ******************************************************************************** b).
