I was accessing a kind of web service for a number of years. No WSDL or any such, just sending url-encoded xml and getting more xml in return and it worked fine.
Now it redirects me from www.someserver.com/portal/services to /#/portal?query= and then I'm supposed to add xml={actual xml here} to the url. However, HTTPGet() just returns the redirection but of course can't follow it. Tried to navigate directly to www.someserver.com/#/portal?query= but it seems that some bit gets lost in the process. In the headers returned I get a "1.1 404 not found", and the buffer returned contains some html saying "Cannot POST /".

The service is 99% serving browser clients, i.e. other web apps. I seem to be their only fat client (though opinions may vary, I got only 86kg), going HttpGet() without a browser, so... anyone knows a trick for this?
