This program opens a log file and uses HTTP POST to 
submit to a website. See an example of the log file 
attached as bug.log. When this program is run with 1250 
lines in the log, it takes 16 seconds (Pentium M laptop 
1.3 GHz). If the number of lines is 2500, the program 
takes 75 seconds to run. Somehow the processing 
in ::http::formatQuery does not scale well. I am using 
the ActiveState distro of TCL 8.4.7.0 with HTTP 
package 2.5.0
