Q: ComLine (w3c), POST (!formdata), HTPostAnchor

Good Day All...

  I'm wondering if anyone has attempted to use the Document ASIS POSTing
feature available throught libwww.  Specifically Im working with the
ComLine (w3c) example code and attempting to perform a File Upload
from one URL to another URL, that is, NOT Formdata.  I have noted that 
the ComLine code is lacking support under the case: METHOD_POST section 
of HTLine.c  So after reading the docs, which seem to say the EXACT same 
thing for EVERY PUT and POST function  :( ... surely there are 
differences? , I added the following line of code to make it look like 
this:

    case METHOD_POST:
        if (formdata) {
            HTParentAnchor * posted = NULL;
            posted = HTPostFormAnchor(formfields, (HTAnchor *) 		
			cl->anchor, cl->request);
            status = posted ? YES : NO;
        } else {
            /* MORE ADDED HERE */
            status  = HTPostAnchor( cl->anchor, (HTAnchor *) cl->dest,
                                    cl->request);
        }
        break;

I run w3c as follows:

 ./w3c -vbptu -post -dest http://ayce/~dwigley/Test1.pl README

and get the following dump:

Questions:
Is there supposed to be a callback function associated with 
HTPostAnchor that Im required to setup/handle?

How is this different from HTPutDocumentAnchor?

Has anyone successfully used HTPost'Functions'?

Is there some easier way to do what Im trying to do?

Thanks for your time.

p.s. - The -put -dest option seems to work just fine with w3c.
