Thank you... The validation is needs to return the information posted by Paypal to our handler (with one identifier added) in a return post.
Paypal has not been very forthcoming except for what is already published on their website. There is no raw source page to view. There are a few coding examples in PHP, etc. Nothing that shows the final output though.
However, your example helps. I'm assuming head and body tags, etc. are unecessary. A POST is read continuously though so is a length identifier called for? Or might there be an end of transmission marker?
It might very well be that a simple query string built from the cgi fields list and sent back after a ContentType identifier as application/x-www-form-urlencoded will work. I'll give it a try.
Thanks again for your support on a terrific product which has served us well for several years now.

You are not providing enough information for us to be able to help you. Ideally, the other party will provide you with a sample page that you could use as a guideline.
In general, post data looks similar to a query string:
Name1=value1&name2=value2&name3=value3...
All name and value strings are URLEncoded. It's possible that this is all you need to do:
Html_out = 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded' + CHR(10) + CHR(10) + ;
URLEncode(name1) + '=' + URLEncode(value1) + '&' + ;
Other name/value pairs... |
There may be other headers that are necessary for this, so you should really ask for a sample page.

I need to construct a response string using the old html_out that calls a post method on a remote server. In other words, I need to format a return page that is the equivalent of a post method submit form (without requiring a submit button to be pressed by the user)
I Know that the ContentType = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded" should be in the beginning of the return string. Can someone point me to the information on how this return string should look?
