Hi

In need to post two values to an ASP page on IIS that looks like this
(simplified):

<%
...
 code to log the hit goes here
...
Response.Write ("CustNo Content : " & Request.Form("CustNo") & "<p>")
Response.Write ("Content Content : " & Request.Form("Content") & "<p>")
%>

I use Delphi 7 and Indy 9.0.15. Here is what I tried:

var
  idHTTP: TidHTTP;
  FormData: TIdMultiPartFormDataStream;
  ReturnText: string;
begin
  idHTTP:=TidHTTP.Create(nil);
  FormData:=TIdMultiPartFormDataStream.Create;
  FormData.AddFormField('CustNo','111');
  FormData.AddFormField('Content','222');
  ReturnText:=idHTTP.Post('http://mysite.com/somepage.asp',FormData);
  // Of course I use the right URL in my code :-)

IIS does receive my post but there are no values in the Form fields CustNo
and Content?

I am sure I must be missing something simple (or complicated :-)) as I am
quite new to HTTP and ASP.

Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks
