Apparently this is because the receiving page doesn't get the value
of the input fields correctly (so it's an HTML form posting problem).

</FORM>

I wonder if the last field with its empty value is the problem.
I tried hacking up an html page with only the above and the full URL in FOR=
M ACTION
but this doesn't seem to send it to the web site.... I guess it's not possi=
ble to do that ? :)

Are you sure its a submitting problem?

I can't see a difference.

Works fine with current CVS.
