Thanks. Will have a look later.

I did solve however my problem. Simply I missed to send some HTTP headers,
and while IE and Opera tolerated that - Mozilla and Firefox did not. The
clue was in adding a header line like this:

    httpRequest.setRequestHeader("Method", "POST "+ url +" HTTP/1.1");

I am however not so much into using other libraries. These things are in
principle simple and building my own code helps me to understand it better
and hence have a better control over it. Though agree that other libraries
are sometime more elegant )

 zb.
