Re: Post Anchor to Chunk?

Timo,

Thanks again for the hint. From the documentation,
HTPostFormAnchorToChunk() indeed can be used to post
arbitrary data.

I still have couple of questions, here's an sample
XmlRpc request that I'm trying to send:

POST /RPC2 HTTP/1.0
         User-Agent: MyApp
         Host: myhost.domain.com
         Content-Type: text/xml
         Content-length: 181


         <?xml version="1.0"?>
         <methodCall>
           
<methodName>examples.getStateName</methodName>
            <params>
               <param>
                  <value><i4>41</i4></value>
                  </param>
               </params>
            </methodCall>

   * how do I set "Content-Type" to "text/xml" for the
     request? I've tried to set it with
     HTRequest_setConversion() on the request and
     HTAnchor_setFormat() on the anchor but to no
     avail; the form removes all request header and
the
     latter doesn't seem to do anything, content-type
     stays as "application/x-www-form-urlencoded".

   * HTPostFormAnchorToChunk() expects data in an
     associated list, I have request payload as single
     string, so I need to convert it to a
     association/pair; should I store the payload as
     value and empty or some dummy string as name in
     the pair?

Thanks in advance.
