Re: sendsms cgi supports POST request method?

Hi,

I have now worked out for myself why a POST does not work in exactly the 
same way as a GET.

It appears that the POST type of request is process according to the 
Content-Type of
the request.

This is not what I expected.  I wanted to use POST as a way to pass 
parameters in just
as I did in GET, but the & delimited parameters, that would have been 
passed in
from the post, did not work.

I think this may be in the doco, but perhaps it was not clear to me, until 
I looked at the
source of smsbox.c and the functions:
        static Octstr *smsbox_req_sendsms(List *args, Octstr *client_ip, 
int *status)
        static Octstr *smsbox_sendsms_post(List *headers, Octstr *body, 
Octstr *client_ip, int *status)

Thanks
Jason
