You probably need to set the action to "http://cphpis07.xxxxxx.com/servlet/com.xxxxxx.is.ti.TimeMgmt.TimesheetServlet" (everything from http:// up to the end, not just the com... part) "What should it profit a man, if he should win a flame war, yet lose his cool?"	[reply]

ya, i thought so too, but when i do that i get the 500 error back. So either im missing some form variable or the action im setting is plain wrong. Is there a way with IE6 (or some other browser) to see what is being sent in a post call?	[reply]

yup. use firefox with the live http headers plugin (I'm not sure if that also shows the POST body). or use lynx with the -trace option, or configure your browser to use a HTTP::Proxy subclass and dump the content somewhere. update: regarding HTTP::Proxy, HTTP::Proxy::BodyFilter::save looks interesting.
