Please show your actual code, and the actual data that both Indy and IE are
sending.

Assigning an empty string to a TStrings class via the Values[] property
removes that value from the list.  That is a Borland idiom, not an Indy one.
If you need to send blank values, then you need to use the Add() or Insert()
method instead of Values[], ie:

    ParamData->Add("MyVariable=");
