[libRETS-users] Strange Error

[Michael Kramer]

Hi,

I'm having the same problems, so this not something I can fix because
librets encodeds the form.  I'd have to wait until RETS server gets
updated?  My querys are very simple (because I'm just getting started).
Query (MLNumber=1+)

The URL is &Query=(MLNumber%3d1%2b)&QueryType=DMQL2

I just want to get some data back.
