Getting up on Twilio

[Paul Mulroney]

Hi Das,

Stack Overflow says this:

> For application/x-www-form-urlencoded, the body of the HTTP message sent to the server is essentially one giant query string -- name/value pairs are separated by the ampersand (&), and names are separated from values by the equals symbol (=). An example of this would be: 
> 
> MyVariableOne=ValueOne&MyVariableTwo=ValueTwo

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4007969/application-x-www-form-urlencoded-or-multipart-form-data <https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4007969/application-x-www-form-urlencoded-or-multipart-form-data>

So, you could take the fields of the form and encode them like that, and send that in the body of the request.
