thanks for your reply. Yes I did dump the REQUEST var , I see the content_type
and content_lenght set but no content . There is nothing in the forms section whihc is correct as the data coming  from the browser is via a post method with
no url encoded form variables. I wonder if there is a way to access the actual 
data stream as I dont think the REQUEST var was designed to handle this situation for a POST request :-(
thanks
