Thank you Lee for your kind response.

I am completely new to this subject.
I have never worked with a server and client, I was trying to understand
what an http form is for.
I imagine that in order to send data to the server it needs to be able to
read the form and to do that it needs to be the server that provides the
form.
I'll give another example: to access the bugtraker you need to fill out the
form with login and password, basically it's the example you were giving
Hans (or maybe not), but if I send the data with your code I don't access
the bugtraker and nothing happens except to receive the html page code as
usual.

So I keep asking myself what can HttpForm be used for.
:-(
