just want to submit some data & have it end up on Filepro - old tony

[Fairlight]

OneGate is inbound-only.  If he wants to post outbound, that's a job for
RawQuery (or a lesser client, like curl, which has something broken in
every version ever released).

The new "web based" filePro...dude, apparently you didn't look at the
"demo".  :(  

I just prefer not to guess; it confuses the issue.  Provide a spec, or it
doesn't get handled.  Seriously, I'm at that point in my life.  LTS.
