I can POST to this page normally, the URL specified localhost which
resolved to 127.0.0.1. When I changed it to the actual IP of my
machine, it worked. Not sure why, because I can (and usually do) access
the machine using http://localhost/. Since this is a development server,
I modified the code slightly:


string sServer = Request.ServerVariables["SERVER_NAME"];
string sURL = string.Format(@"http://{0}/PostToMe.html";, sServer);

All of this is correct -- the page doesn't require any variables, and
simply does a dump of all variables it receives -- great for testing!

I have worked around the problem by specifying a server name, but would
love to know why localhost didn't work.

Thanks,
Glenn
