[wp-hackers] Sending checkbox parameters to a non-PHP script using wp_remote_post

[Mike Walsh]

Thanks a bunch for the pointer to http://httpbin.org and the suggestion for
manually building the body parameter for wp_remote_post().  The web site in
particular was extremely helpful in solving my problem (which is now
working - yeah!) as it allowed me to get my post using wp_remote_post() to
match exactly what going through the normal Google Form process posts.
