Yes. I did modify the original since I need to send data to a program which takes only form-data. "content-disposition: " came from RFC 2388. I don't think the program can take application/x-www-form-urlencoded content. Further help needed.

Where did you get this PostToHost function?... Did you modify it? Cuz, like, I don't think this one is very good... Where did that "content-disposition: " come from? And virtually every FORM on the web has more than one input, so you're going to need to handle that. Google for "PostToHost Rasmus Lerdorf" to find the "original" and compare it with yours.
