Why can I not receive POSTed form results via stdin? The program just hangs. I've posted this to the CGI and C++ (the language being used) forums and the suggestion was that it was an IIS problem, which I'm very inclined to believe since code to simply accept from stdin and echo it back is very simple.

One suggestion was the permissions on the folder containing the .exe, but the current config on that is that "Everyone" has "Full Control."

I am able to receive results with the GET method using the env var QUERY_STRING, but need to use POST since I don't want usernames/passwords appearing in the URL.

Thanks in advance for any help/tips,
