pls help me to send a request with data and get a response.

Hi ,

    I am a new commer to the libwww. I want to post data to remote server
and get response. 
I have already send a request ( without data)  to the remote http server .
but it is not the response that I want . 
This is my code 

int HTTPPost::sendRequest()
{
   HTRequest * request = NULL;
    HTParentAnchor * src = NULL;
    HTAnchor * dst = NULL;
    HTChunk *  chunck = NULL;
    char * dst_str = NULL;
    char * data = NULL;
    BOOL status = NO;
  HTChunk* p_pphc_responseData = NULL;
   dst_str ="http://nagoya.apache.org:5049";
//:5049/axis/servlet/AxisServlet";
    data = "hello";
    if (data && *data && dst_str && *dst_str) {

	/* Make source relative to where we are */
	char * cwd = HTGetCurrentDirectoryURL();

	HTPrint("Posting to %s\n", dst_str);

	/* Create a request */
	request = HTRequest_new();
   //set the output format and target stream
    HTRequest_setOutputStream(request, HTStreamToChunk(request,
&p_pphc_responseData, -1));
    HTRequest_setOutputFormat(request, HTAtom_for("text/xml"));
    /* Get an anchor object for the destination URI */
   dst = HTAnchor_findAddress(dst_str);
        /*
	** Dream up a source anchor (an editor can for example use this).
	** After creation we associate the data that we want to post and
	** set some metadata about what the data is. More formats can be
found
	** ../src/HTFormat.html
	*/
	src = HTTmpAnchor(NULL);
	HTAnchor_setDocument(src, data);
	HTAnchor_setFormat(src, WWW_PLAINTEXT);

	/*
	** If not posting to an HTTP/1.1 server then content length MUST be
	** there. If HTTP/1.1 then it doesn't matter as we just use chunked
	** encoding under the covers
	*/
	HTAnchor_setLength(src, strlen(data));

	/* POST the source to the dest */
	status = HTPostAnchor(src, dst, request);
	
	//status = HTTraceAbsolute (dst_str,request);

	/* We don't need these anymore */
	HT_FREE(cwd);

	/* Go into the event loop... */
	if (status == YES)
		HTEventList_loop(request);

    }

 return 0;
}


This is the output
