HttpSendRequest and perl

[Wox]

Hi All,

I have problems retrieving information from perl enabled sites. This
is what I do (Example: www.rfc-editor.org/cgi-bin/rfcsearch.pl just
for illustration):

HINTERNET hSession, hConnect, hRequest;

hSession = InternetOpen("Some Name",
INTERNET_OPEN_TYPE_PRECONFIG,
NULL,
NULL,
0);

hConnect = InternetConnect(hSession,
"www.rfc-editor.org",
iPort,
NULL,
NULL,
INTERNET_SERVICE_HTTP,
0,
1);

hRequest = HttpOpenRequest(hConnect,
"POST",
"/cgi-bin/rfcsearch.pl",
NULL,
NULL,
NULL,

INTERNET_FLAG_NO_CACHE_WRITE|INTERNET_FLAG_RELOAD|INTERNET_FLAG_KEEP_CONNECTION,
0);

; => Till here everything is fine.
bool bResult=HttpSendRequest(hRequest , NULL, 0, NULL, 0,);
; => This is always FALSE.

Any ideas why HttpOpenRequest fails?

Thanks,
Wox

This must be: why HttpSendRequest fails?
