I am working on a project where I need to construct the actual HTTP
request. I have run into a roadblock with CFM form pages though. Does
anyone know how CF handles form data in a post? CF seems to be
expecting/seeing things different then a CGI script.
here are a couple of examples as to what I am doing as well as there
unexplainable results.
1.1) my test PERL script (just displays the post data)
[/opt/cgi-bin]% cat 2.pl
#!/usr/local/bin/perl
use CGI;
$query=new CGI;
print $query->header;
print $query->param('date_id');
1.2) The request to that script
[~]$ telnet xyz 80
Trying xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx...
Connected to xyz.xyz.com.
Escape character is '^]'.
POST http://xyz.xyz.com/cgi-bin/2.pl HTTP/1.0
Content-Length: 18
date_id=2000-09-21
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Date: Tue, 26 Sep 2000 14:08:58 GMT
Server: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Last-Modified: Tue, 26 Sep 2000 13:45:57 GMT
Cache-Control: no-cache
Connection: close
Content-Type: text/html

2.1) the CFM page
<cfoutput> #form.date_id#</cfoutput>
2.2) The request to the CF page
[~]$ telnet xyz 80
Trying xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx...
Connected to xyz.xyz.com.
Escape character is '^]'.
POST http://xyz.xyz.com/1.cfm HTTP/1.0
Content-Length: 18
