how to parse HTTP Post data

Hello,

I am reading an incoming HTTP post from a socket. The data I am
receiving looks like:

'POST / HTTP/1.1
Host: localhost
Content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
Connection: Keep-Alive
Content-length: 72

status=001&transID=119&serialNo=123&refID=456&destNo=6399999&prodCode=SM'

I want to be get at the form data in the HTTP Request.

I can parse the data "by hand" but I suspect that there is already code
that does this. How could this be done?

Thanks,
Frank

In reply to this post by squeakman

This may depend on the server you are running but look at the webRequest queryData nameValueDictionary.

You should get a Dictionary of Collections (since any request parameter may occur more than once).
