OutBound Call - does not post data back to start_url

I can create an outbound call, I give it my login, pin, phone_number, and start_url. The call is made it everything works.

however when I try to pass an optional variable 'call_parameters', and try to read the post data in my start_url there is nothing there.

At first I thought it was an ASP issue however I did an ethereal network scan and 69.25.74.83 is actually issuing a GET on my webpage but is not posting any variables.

Am I missing something here? I thought that the http://outbound.plumgroup.com/outboundlib/startpage.php would POST the variables to my page on retrieval, however it appears as though it is just trying to do a straight GET.

After doing more testing and rereading the logs, I realize now that the outgoing server first does a get, that checks to see if the site exists (I'm guessing). Then AFTER the call is initiated it will send the actual post with the proper data.
