HTTP Post in 7.5b

I have setup an HTTP action
Put: Post form data
Get: Get to macro
URL: myurl.php
Macro: PostResponse
Do not escape special characters: not checked
Transfer type: ASCII
Form Data: action=3&program_date=07/06/2010
Logging: All + Hex dump

--

The php script I'm posting to is not getting the Form Data.
The Hex dump is not showing the Form Data.

Any suggestions?

[correction]
I didn't look high enough, the data did get sent. The PHP script isn't seeing the data though.

I'm not sure. Testing the attached sample w/ 7.5b on Windows XP SP3 produces the expected output of

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html lang="en-US">
<head>
<title>Echoing submitted form data</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1 style="font-size:1.2em">Echoing submitted form data</h1>
<table border="1" cellspacing="0">
<tr><th align="left" nowrap><tt>Comments</tt></th><td nowrap><tt>xyz</tt></td></tr>
<tr><th align="left" nowrap><tt>box</tt></th><td nowrap><tt>yes</tt></td></tr>
</table>

I downloaded Fiddler to discover the problem. It appears when posting data the Content-Type header needs to be set to 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'.

This worked in the 6.x version I was using prior to upgrading the system and software.


Watching what is posted via VBP
Code:
POST http://powerchurchsoftware.com/test/index.php HTTP/1.1
Host: powerchurchsoftware.com
Content-Length: 19

action=3&version=A0
returns
Code:
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Date: Tue, 06 Jul 2010 22:34:18 GMT
Server: Apache
X-Powered-By: PHP/5.2.13
Vary: Accept-Encoding
Content-Length: 13
Content-Type: text/html

array(0) {
}
Changing the post to this:
Code:
POST http://powerchurchsoftware.com/test/index.php HTTP/1.1
Host: powerchurchsoftware.com
Content-Length: 19
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded

action=3&version=A0
Properly returns the array
Code:
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Date: Tue, 06 Jul 2010 22:45:51 GMT
Server: Apache
X-Powered-By: PHP/5.2.13
Vary: Accept-Encoding
Content-Length: 77
Content-Type: text/html

array(2) {
  ["action"]=>
  string(1) "3"
  ["version"]=>
  string(2) "A0"
}

Add a value that requires encoding (spaces or special characters, i.e., action=3&version=A0
&x=a b). The version of the third-party networking component used in v7 only adds the Content-Type header if there are values that require encoding.

OK, added an extra variable and the array is filled in.

Thank you.

Also, in v7.6, you can explicitly set header values (Options tab).
