Re: help re error: "Method Not Allowed: The POST method is not supported for URLs of class HTTP-SEARCH"

Your difficulty probably has to do with the order in which you intern the URLs for
export.  You need to export the URL only with the correct export type, and then reference
the URL later. Specialized export types use specialized classes to deliver functionality.

You probably want to get a backtrace of the error by setting up automatic error reporting
at their site. This will give you a better idea of what is going on.
