I have now tested this and it works like a charm, so I don't need my
hacks anymore. Yay! :)

I first used the :PARAMETERS keyword without specifying the :FORM-DATA
keyword, and that works as well as providing it. Are there any
drawbacks of NOT using :FORM-DATA when just sending form fields (i.e.
no files)? Note: one of the form fields can be quite large (maybe up
to a thousand characters) sometimes.

Thanks!
