what do you mean exactly by "POST values are forgotten" ?

I've tried out your sample: first I GET the page in my browser (i.e.  
the form with the "Send" button), then when I press the button, 'vara'  
and 'varb' variables with the hardcoded values are POSTed to  
index.kl1.  At this point request_get_arg() return some value (i.e.  
'valeur' is non-NULL as it contains the parsed query) and the  
io_printf() branch is entered displaying the expected values:

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Used method : 3 (i.e. POST)
Receive values:
	* vara : postvara
	* varb : postvarb
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

which seems correct to me.  What would you expect instead ?

ciao, t.
