You're not sending any body!  Even if there's nothing to
send, try sending '' rather than null.  I'm guessing that the
XMLHttpRequest implementation is just not sending a
Content-Length if you send null.

It's also very unusual to use application/x-www-form-urlencoded
with POST's, but I guess you could.  Note thogh that in that case
the "URL" should be in the request body, not the actual
URL you're POSTing to.
