Msxml2.XMLHttp.4.0 won't post form values

[cutnpaste]

hi all,
I have the following problem:
when i want to post a value from the browser (IE6.0)like this:

var xh = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHttp.4.0");
xh.open("POST","[URL unfurl="true"]http://localhost/test.php",false);[/URL]
xh.onreadystatechange=
function(){if (xh.readyState==4){alert(xh.responseText)}};
xh.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "application/x-[URL unfurl="true"]www-form-urlencoded");[/URL]
xh.send("foo=somevalue");

with this being test.php:

<?php 
header (&quot;Content-Type: text/xml; charset=utf-8&quot;);
echo &quot;<?xml version=\&quot;1.0\&quot; ?><something>value is:$_POST['foo']</something>&quot;;
?>

I get the error :'the download of the specified resource has failed'. If I leave out 'xh.setRequestHeader("..."' I do get a response but no post value has been sent.

Any help will be greatly appreciated!

I currently have the same problem. Did you ever figure this out?

No I didn't. But the problem started when I upgraded from the juli 2002 version of msxml4.0 (don't know exact version number) to version 4.10.9404.0 released feb. 2003. I also installed win2k servicepack 3 around that time so that might have something to do with it.
Switching back the previous one didn't help so I presume something went wrong with the installation. I could reinstall win2k but it isn't a really urgent problem.
If you do find the cause I'd be interested to know though.
