[PHP-DEV] RE: [PHP] $HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA From: John Coggeshall (someone <email protected>)

Why would you want to use $HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA anyway? What data could you be
trying to send to PHP to need it in a raw format? I can't find the origional
message from this one so I don't know what the real problem is. Can you let
me know?

$HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA is empty. www.faqts.com seems to have the answer to
why:

Unfortunately I have no control of the Content-Type. Internet Explorer
sets it to "application/x-www-form-urlencoded". That's the same as an
HTML Form Post (which of course it isn't). User-Agent is set to
"PostFavorites".
