Re: Spaces being removed from POST data

You are probably not posting to the website but concate a request string

example : -)

http://www.google.nl/search?hl=nl&q=michel%20posseth%20post%2Fget&btnG=Zoeken&meta=

a space is represented by %20 so this should solve your problem

However easier would be to perform a urlencode on the complete string , a
receiving webserver wil automaticly decode the string ( no extra code is
necesary )

Using the HttpWebRequest to post data for a query, the input tag that
i'm mimicking is:

<input type "hidden" name="severity" value="'SEV 2', 'SEV 5'">

I'm using this for making the query via HttpWebRequest POST method:

... & _
"&severity='SEV 2', 'SEV 5'" & _
... & _

This returns an empty result set. Looking at the html that was returned,
I see this:

<input type="hidden" name="severity" value="'SEV2','SEV5'">

Why is it removing the spaces in my 'SEV 2', 'SEV 5' items?

I've tried using &nbsp; instead of the spaces, but that causes a server
error.

If I remove the severity property from the POST data, I get all the
records returned.

Can anyone shed some light on this?

Thanks.
