shell command oddity...

[Pierre Sahores]

Hi Mark,

I would suspect a problem with the httpheaders or the 
socketTimeoutInterval global values or, perhaps, the need to add a "&" 
at the end of your "POST" request.

Here are the two first values i use for my own :

> -- only needed on the client-side part of your app :
>
> set httpheaders to "Content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" & 
> return
>     post "is001=5&is002=" & word 1 of fld "account" of stack 
> "addnewuser" & \
>         "&is003=" & word 1 of fld "password" of stack "addnewuser" & \
>         "&is004=" & word 1 of fld "biblio" of stack "addnewuser" & "&" 
> to url (testurl() & "istream.xml")

> -- only needed on the server-side part of your app, if exists.
>
> set the socketTimeoutInterval to "10"

Hope this help,

Best, Pierre
