Using Webtool 1.8.1.

I am posting to this page and I get an "..unexpected error...".
https://account.authorize.net/ui/themes/anet/Logon.aspx

So I am troubleshooting the problem with a sniffer. I noticed that when I send a string which contains '+' characters to be posted, the sniffer shows the '+' characters being replaced with blanks.

Why is this happening?

The sniffer I am using is Http Analyzer from http://www.ieinspector.com which can anyalze https packets.

Hello Salama,

I tried to replicate the said scenario, however was unable to do so. I tried to send a String which contains ‘+’ characters and I was able to view these characters. I have tried sending Username and Password as String parameters through our sample “MultiPartPost”. This sample is located at the following default location:

C:\Program Files\PowerTCP\Web Tool\Samples\Web\Vb6\MultiPartPost

(1) Ran the sample and then added a Variable with name “MerchantLogin” and Value is “Sample”.

(2) Added another variable with the name “Password” and value is “sample+9876”.

I was able to view the entire password (including + character) in the sniffer. I have used the same sniffer which you have specified in your post. Obviously, I was not able to login because of an incorrect username and password.

I would suggest you to model your application in this way and then let us know whether it fulfills your requirements or not.

I hope this is of help.

Regards,
Amit
