HTTP post randomly failing

Edit: figured out what was really going on... my tests were wrong and make this post moot.

Hi Jeff,

could you check IT and "the result" after posting?
This might give us a clue:

post tData to url tURL
answer IT & CR & the result

Best

Jeff, In an application I was working on last year, I found that Rev's internet library was flaky, and your description of your problem sounds familiar. In the end I went with Mark Smith's curl library. Unfortunately, that seems to be missing right now. (I'm going to write to Mark and see if he's removed it).

Also, I seem to remember that Trevor DeVore released a modified version of the internet library in his Application Framework (although looking at this page, I can't see any mention of that now):
http://www.bluemangolearning.com/revolu ... -released/

At the end of the day, I suppose you could try and debug the internet library yourself, as it is just written in Rev.

URL for Application framework is below. The url you posted was the announcement.

http://www.bluemangolearning.com/revolu ... framework/

The framework does provide a modified version of libURL. The manual discusses some of the features and shows how to install it. Here is the relevant chapter:
