Almost!

With POST there is a special format to encode the data, which I only touched on above. Basically you must put it in the format that could be used for URLs (web addresses).

* It is all on one line with no 'white space'
* Fields are stored as key pairs, with the name first, then a =, then the value
* Between each field is an &
* Spaces are replaced by +
* reserved characters can only be used if they are escaped with a % then the ascii code for that character (in hex)

[i]user=danny1
pass=blahblah[/i]

becomes

[i]user=danny1&pass=blahblah[/i]

Finally don't forget that HTTP needs a blank line between the header and the body of a message.

client->server (1)
[code]POST page.php http/1.0

user=danny1&pass=blahblah[/code]
