I need some help!

I was using on my game a gnet style server listing (on my own server), but now I'm having a huge problem!

here's more or less my code to get the game server list from the:

  t=OpenTCPStream("www.icongames.com.br",80)
  If t<>0 Then
     WriteLine t, "POST /list.php HTTP/1.1"
     WriteLine t, ""
     WriteLine t, "?game=BOLA%20DE%20GUDE"

     ServerCount=0
     sc=1
     k$=ReadLine$(t)
     docStarted=False

     While Not finished
        DebugLog k$ 
        k$=ReadLine$(t)
        If Eof(t) Then finished=True
        If Instr(k$,"</html>")>0 Then Finished = True
     Wend
     CloseTCPStream(t)
   Else
	 DebugLog "could not connect!"
   End If

WaitKey

End

And this is the output I get:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN">
<html><head>
<title>400 Bad Request</title>
</head><body>
<h1>Bad Request</h1>
<p>Your browser sent a request that this server could not understand.<br />
</p>

What's wrong? If I access the same 'list.php' from the browser (http://www.icongames.com.br/list.php?game=BOLA%20DE%20GUDE) everything works as expected.

Why I'm getting 'Bad requests'? Any hints?

Nevermind, solved it by passing parameters right after the POST.

It's exactly what I said:

WriteLine t, "POST /list.php?game=BOLA%20DE%20GUDE HTTP/1.1"

Just pass the parameters right after the POST. It may or may not work depending on your server though.
