Is there a PH formula that can generate an http post, including the
headers and body?

Skip,
No function currently exists in PowerHome that form an HTTP post statement for you. I was going to say I'll put it on the to-do list but started thinking about it and couldnt figure out a way to make a generic type function to populate all of the basic fields. It would almost be just as easy as doing it from scratch. Obviously you would need the resource you're requesting, the content-type, authentication, etc. but then you'd need to almost pretty much supply the body yourself because you would need the individual form elements that you would like to post. I could probably put together something that would take an http GET and convert that to a POST, not sure if that would help or not.
Give me a little more info and I'll see if something can be done.
Dave.

I am enabling C2DM for my Android app. C2DM (cloud to device messaging) is a lot like text
messages. They are instant, short messages that can be sent directly to a phone.
As for the http post from PH, the C2DM service requires the message to the C2DM server to be
formatted as HTTP Post. I was thinking that if I could get PH to send the POST, that would
make my life a lot easier.
Read here for more details:
http://code.google.com/android/c2dm/
Look for the section near the bottom called "How the Application Server Sends Messages".
In this context, PH will be the application server.

As for the http post from PH, I can do it with curl, so I will go that way.
