    Code (CSharp):
    1. WWWForm form = new WWWForm ();
    2. form.AddField ("name", "value");
    3.  
    4. WWW user_get = new WWW("http://www.something.com", form);
    5.  
    6. yield return user_get;
    When I check on server side, no POST data arrive.

    It stopped working just with version 5.

    Generate a trivially small script, and submit it as a bug. The QA team can then investigate.

    I just took a look at your script code, made minor changes and it works. I sent my version back to you.

    Hmm. Thought it worked, but now it doesn't. :-(

    If I do:

    Code (csharp):
    1.  
    2.     IEnumerator Start () {
    3.         WWWForm form = new WWWForm ();
    4.         form.AddField ("name", "value");
    5.         form.AddField ("name2", "value2");
    6.        
    7.         WWW user_get = new WWW("http://54.76.229.0/post.php", form);
    8.        
    9.         yield return user_get;
    10.  
    11.         if(!string.IsNullOrEmpty(user_get.error)){
    12.             gt.text = "Error: " + user_get.error;
    13.         } else {
    14.                 Debug.Log (user_get.text);
    15.         }
    16.     }
    17.  
    and use this as post.php:

    Code (csharp):
    1.  
    2. <?phpvar_dump($_REQUEST); ?>
    3.  
    Then it looks like the first field is wired up to the POST request, which does look like a bug. I've told the web player develop to take a look.

    Seems to be a bug. R&D tell me that 5.1 will have a fix.

    It should be fixed with the 5.0.2 build whenever it is released.

    Hi All, is there still a bog with WWWForm, POST? I know you have mentioned WebPlayer above but I can't make it work with WebGL. It works perfectly when I'm using Safari but not at all when using Firefox or Chrome. its only when I POST a variable (short string) from Unity to the the web (a PHP page) that POST is not working.

    I have tested with the latest version (5.1.1p2) and its still not working.

    Just want to know if its a known bug? if it is, is there a temporary workaround?

    Thanks in advance!
