Re: Post params don't show up on server side

Hi Thomas,

I'm using Apache::ASP and it seems like the problem lies with that.
According to
http://www.nabble.com/Content-type:-application-x-www-form-urlencoded--c\
harset%3Dutf-8-t1834467.html, it seems like Apache::ASP expects the
content type to be exactly "application-x-www-form-urlencoded", even
though the HTTP specs allow for more than that.

So, I'll just have to live with the workaround I've found. It would be
nice if there was a better API for changing this though (or am I using
the APIs incorrectly?). Honestly, a bit surprised that this Content-Type
header things hasn't been a problem for more people though...

Anyway, thanks for following up.

James
