I've never done this, but this is what I have read:

-- If the checkbox is unchecked, don't send anything.

-- If the checkbox is checked, send the "value" that is in the html.  
For example, if the form element is this (tag markers removed):

        input type="checkbox" name="hobby" value="fishing"

   you would send "hobby=fishing"

-- If no value is defined in the form, send "on" as the value.

-- Multiple checkboxes can have the same name, so if the checkbox  
form was like this:

        input type="checkbox" name="hobby" value="fishing"
        input type="checkbox" name="hobby" value="hunting"
        input type="checkbox" name="hobby" value="shooting"

   and the first two items were checked, you would send this:

        hobby=fishing&hobby=hunting
