[Helma-user] Posting to URL

[Julian Tree]

ha that's funny stefan, I ended up using the the same thing.  It is
much better documented than the ClientHttpRequest I found.

I did notice the jakarta's httpclient complains about  not having the
commons-codec. However I think helma does have a commons-codec.jar in
the lib dir, but the httpclient seem to not reconginzed it.
But after downloading commons-codec-1.3.jar directly from jakarta, and
putting it in
lib/ext dir, everything works fine.
The client is very useful, glad to see that will be included in Helma
2. It seem to do something (especially multipart/form post) really
well, a feature seems to be lacking or  patchy in  php and RoR.
