POST to a site hangs up PC

Hello,

In attempting to POST data to a website, my PC simply "hangs up" and I have
to end task.  Do you know what could cause this type of behavior?  Here is a
code snipet:

      oXMLHTTP.open('POST', sURL, FALSE, '', '');
      oXMLHTTP.setRequestHeader('Content-Type', 'multipart/form-data;
boundary=---------123456789');
      oXMLHTTP.send(sPostData);

The first 2 commands execute without error.  The "send", however, hangs up
the PC.

Note that I am reaching and communicating something to the site (sURL).  The
receiving end (the site people) have an echo-back capture routine that shows
the data reaching the site.  And they have eyeballed this data (sPostData)
and cannot see a problem... by simply eyeballing the data.

Is there something I can do to troubleshoot this?  Is there something they
can do at the receiving end (the site people) to isolate the issue?

Thank you,

Dale Francis
