Hello there...

I am trying to call Mapserver within a scripting language(Tcl/Tk) using
util_httppost as shown below:

    set mapserver_html [util_httppost $map_url
"map=test.map?imgext=20692..." 45]

but I get the following error message: This script can only be used to
decode form results.

If I use util_httpget, it works, but the reason I'm trying to use
util_httppost is because one of the form variables being passed to Mapserver
is too long when using a GET. Do you know how I would go about solving this
problem? Thank you very much for your time and assistance.
