Hi all,

I program a front-end with Delphi and the Indy components, which
communicate with a html cgi page.

The post command works very well until I have to post a value with a
dot in it:

<select name="SERVER" size="1">
   <option>server.net</option>

And then the server returns something like that: invalid char given

The content type as application/x-www-form-urlencoded.

I think this because of the dot, a dot is specially encoded. This is
my question:

How is a dot encoded and is this the problem, or is this a indy
problem?

excuse my bad english and thanks for your help

p.s.: what means the exception 302 found? Is this really a error?

include IdGlobal unit in your program and use URLEncode

I try this and the encode function by nmurl and the result is the same
error message from the server script.
The dot is by nmurl as  %2E encoded like in a rfc (some http rfc) but
it does nor work.
It seems that urlencode from indy does not encode, because the output
from a dot or a ! is not different from its input (i am using indy
8009b).

I hope you can help with this situation.
