title: what is the correct syntax of a post form in an http request
body: <p>What is the format of a form sent in an http post request ?
  I am trying an http client program and want to send a form in an http post request.
  I tried :</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt; FORM METHOD=POST &gt;
  &lt; INPUT name="name" value="chriss"&gt;
  &lt; /FORM &gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>is this correct ? 
  on the server side, when I try to get the value of name ( i use : form.getFirstValue("name")) I get  null.
  (I am using restlet as my API.)
  Can anyone help me please </p>
