Hi,
while debugging using tcpmon i found that webMethods is messing the data .I observed that the boundary value that is mentioned in the http headers is added twice and the content type = multipart/form-data is also missing

Please find below the message i captured in tcpmon sent by webMethods

seems like this is a bug in http post in webMethods.

we are using webMethods 6.5 with service pack 3 on AIX

Please let me know how to resolve this and make a sucessful post through http post

Thanks,
