Nick,
1) Reading till EOF works fine. I'd gotten in the habit of using Content-Length in the non-chunked case so hadn't tried it until now. The "Transfer-Encoding: chunked" header is set. Is that proper if "de-chunking" has occurred?
2) I'm just doing C++ without any third party libraries.
So my test program is working now but I have another questions. Can you elaborate on what is a CGI implementation? I'm operating at the level of installing apache and POSTing to it and CGI is the part that calls my cgi script...
Thanks again
Chris
