I don't have problem using POST to submit data under IE4.0 and IE5.5. Your
problem
may have to do with a reported IE5.5 bug which cause data to be truncated
when it
encounters a NULL byte in the data.
As to the original question, my suggestion is to make sure to set the
Content-Length header,
as it is required by POST.
