  Web service notes: register-app.php
  -----------------------------------

  This web service enables CodeSnip to register the application with the
  DelphiDabbler website.

  The service accepts registration information as a series of name=value pairs
  POSTed to it. The required and optional data is as follows.

  +--------------------------------------------------------------------+
  | Name      | Required? | Description                                |
  +-----------+-----------+--------------------------------------------+
  | ProgId    | Yes       | Program id code (string)                   |
  +-----------+-----------+--------------------------------------------+
  | ProgName  | No        | Name of program (string)                   |
  +-----------+-----------+--------------------------------------------+
  | ProgVer   | No        | Program version number (dotted quad)       |
  +-----------+-----------+--------------------------------------------+
  | ProgKey   | Yes       | Unique program key (32 hex digits)         |
  +-----------+-----------+--------------------------------------------+
  | UserName  | Yes       | Name of user registering program           |
  +-----------+-----------+--------------------------------------------+
  | MailList  | No        | Whether to join any mailing list (0 or 1)  |
  +-----------+-----------+--------------------------------------------+
  | UserEmail | No*       | Email address of user joining mailing list |
  |           |           | * required only if MailList=1              |
  +-----------+-----------+--------------------------------------------+

  Responses from the web service comprise a numeric success code on a line on
  its own followed by some data, i.e.
    <success-code> CRLF <data>

  If registration succeeds the success code is '0' and the data is the program's
  registration key which is a string of 32 hex digits.

  If the registration fails the success code is a +ve error code and the data
  is an error message.

  If the client application accessing web service does not supply the required
  user agent then the service responds with a HTTP 403 (Forbidden) error.
