Copy & paste typo, sorry, it was not that way in the actual code.

It appears that I had mis-nested tags and the <form>...</form> was not
being captured.
Once I fixed up the mis-nesting, my inputs showed up in the REQUEST
object just like they're supposed to.
Normally validation is the first thing I check but the w3c validator
can't validate localhost addresses so I had to use the old "cut &
past" method to submit my HTML.
Thanks,
