    Hi, thanks for the advice. the second suggestion works:

Hi autratec,

The only secure way to investigate what's going on would be take a look on the raw http stream and see what's the problem there. As far as I can see, there are 2 possible trouble points. In 'out_header' you miss the trailing separator, so header block and the request body could stick together. Add '\r\n' at the end! Next, your 'body' contains not only the actual body, but the string termination symbol at the end, also. I'm not sure, but the server could get confused because of. Strip it using something like:

ArrayResize(body,ArraySize(body)-1);

just before call to WebRequest.

Hope this gives the right direction.
