Sorry for the long delay in replying.
If a variable name is defined as blank, then the parameter will be
ignore when creating the request data. However, if the variable name
is not defined, then the parameter will not be ignored.
So you need to make sure that all the variables for the parameter
names are defined, either with the proper name, or as an empty string
(in which case the corresponding value is not needed).
