Hello.

I need to send form data to a secure server, using the POST method.
I have successfully used IO::Socket::SSL with the GET method, but
I cannot find any examples of posting data using this module.

Can anyone here help?

Thanks
-Mark

Well, I got that working. . .encrypted data is flowing.

Unfortunately, I am getting a 400 response with "Bad Request (Invalid Header
Name)."
It looks like I'll be curling up with a good RFC this evening.

IIRC, although IO::Socket::SSL contains a rudimentary HTTPS client
implementation it's more common practice, better documented, more
complete and more reliable to use the HTTPS implementation in LWP
instead.

Note: This this still uses IO::Socket::SSL to do the SSL but uses the
HTTP implementation from LWP.
