Visual Basic :: [VB6] Winsock POST Request Problem

HELP: Winsock To Send HTTP POST REQUEST To A Machine
Hello,

I would like to use visual basic to send data to a machine using an HTTP Post request, and cannot decide on the best way to do it. Can I use winsock. Please bear in mind the following.

I am sending a mult-part message (kind of like an email with attachments). It's actually a multimedia message in the MM7 format -> this is similar to email, a multipart MIME message.

I MUST post to a destination using the following format:

http://192.168.3.75:2097/mm7

I need to then send the data which I've formated according to the MM7 spec.

I need to receive responses from the receving application.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Send Post Request To Default Browser
Hi,

I was wondering if it is possible to send a 'POST Request' To a users default browser?
If i would do something like

Code:
ShellExecute Me.hwnd, "open", "www.mywebside.com/login.php?username=root&password=pass", "", "", SW_SHOWNORMAL
Then it would just open the browser, and send a GET request...
But then the website wont work, because it grabs the POST requests...

I know it is possible with a winsock control, but i need it to get posted in the users brower...

how should i do this?

Thanks

[Web Services] Server Receives GET Request Instead Of POST
I apologise for posting in this forum but I did not find another one more appropriate.

I am using SOAP SDK like in both client side and server side of a Web Service based application.

When I call the WS from a client machine (windows 2000/xp) the server receive a POST http request like expected but when I call the WS from anothers (windows nt 4.0) the clients sends a GET request and perhaps the server dont respond with the method invocation result (it responds describing the wsdl file). The client application is very simple and I do not understand where the difference arises.

In all machines (w2k prof/xp/nt acting like WS clients and w2k server acting like WS server) are installed the MS SOAP Toolkit 3

At the request sent by the NT machine also is missing the SOAPACtion header

Have any idea because the NT machines sends GET request instead of a POST one?

Thanks in advance

How Can Use Xmlhttp To Send A Post Request, And Have A Browser Opened With The Url De
I want to send a POST http request from VB to an HTTPServer. When the request is sent, I want a new browser to be opened with the url set to the same url as in the http request. How can I do that? the reason is that the url I want to send to need the user to authenticate first before processing the content in the request.

I'm using xmlhttp. the code I have below does get received by the http server. but I don't know how i can have the browser opened as a result of xmlhttp.

thanks in advance.

Private Sub posthttp_Click()
Dim xmlhttp As Variant
Set xmlhttp = CreateObject("MSXML2.XMLHTTP.3.0")
strUrl = <some url>
MsgBox strUrl
xmlhttp.Open "POST", strUrl, False

Dim xmldoc As Variant
Set xmldoc = CreateObject("MSXML2.DOMDocument")
xmldoc.loadXML ("<?xml version=""1.0""?><root/>")
xmlhttp.send xmldoc.XML
Set xmlhttp = Nothing
End Sub

Winsock Syntax? (To Request A Website With The Winsock Control)
Ok, I don't know very much about Winsock and am just now starting to use it. I'm making an anonymity program that modifies referer and user agent data. I managed to find an example of how its done on planetsourcecode.com but there's a few things that aren't working.

Anyway, when this string is sent, it sends the headers and a request for index.html from the connected host (winsock1.connect domain.com 80).

GET index.html HTTP/1.0
Accept: image/gif, image/x-xbitmap, image/jpeg, image/pjpeg, application/vnd.ms-powerpoint, application/vnd.ms-excel, application/msword, application/x-comet, */*
Accept-Language: en
Accept-Encoding: gzip , deflate
Cache-Control: no-cache
Proxy-Connection: Keep-Alive
User-Agent: Whatever
Referer: www.whatever.com

But when I used the website http://ipid.shat.net/ as the domain to see if code mdified the headers or not, it directed me instead to just www.shat.net. How would a browser request information to ipid.shat.net?

Also, I noticed that by sending just that information, cookies don't work properly. What other tags do I have to add onto that for it to recieve my session information? Thanks a lot.

Winsock Request
I have a Winsock component setup right now on my network, exact same as whats in this thread

I would like to know if a similar control can be built using Winsock to do this:

1) Connect to a remote computer, by IP address. (I have a code that determines the IP address of the remote machine already..)

2) Open a .txt file, send it back to (my) the users computer and displays it in a text box on screen.

3) On command button press, take what ever is in my text box, and send the file back to the remote computer and save it.

Kind of like editing a configuration file, remotly.

I know the application would have to be running on the remote end as well as my end for this to work, if its at all possible.

I would really like to do this, I appeciate everyones help in advance!

Winsock Example Request

WinSock Request Accept
Hey,

I have been trying to get this code to work, It's most likely something stupid am doing, but i cant get my server program type thingie to accept the Request ID from the client program thingie... Here is the code to the part that it says is wrong (If you need anyother parts tell me an i'll post it)

Code:
Private Sub HostSocket_ConnectionRequest(ByVal requestID As Long)

'Show Request In Host Log
HMsg = "Connection request id " & requestID & " from " & HostSocket.RemoteHostIP
HostLog.AddItem (HMsg)

sRequestID = requestID
iSockets = iSockets + 1
ConNumber.Caption = iSockets
Load HostSocket(iSockets)
HostSocket.LocalPort = 1007
HostSocket.Accept requestID

End Sub
PS. I looked at an example to help me with this, so am not sure whats wrong.

Thx in advance.

Winsock Sample Request
Hi all,

I need to make a server app for my project. I have concluded that I will need to implement Winsock to do so. I have read up on all Winsock articles here (and many others elsewhere) and have downloaded and studied all the samples I could find.

However, I am unable to do what I want because:

- The tutorials say that the IP address or friendly name of the target computer MUST be specified for the Winsock control to connect on the other side. This strikes me as very backward, as I can not always know what IP addresses my customers' network stations will be running on and cannot also predict their friendly names. Does this have to be hard-coded?

- Try as I may, I cannot create a working sample of Server.Exe and Client.Exe to run on the same machine as I cannot afford the luxury of testing my code over two machines. Is there any way I can debug / test on one machine?

If any member proficient with Winsock (Laura Stephens and Jason Rogers come to mind) would like to help, I shall appreciate a small sample to get me started by solving the above two problems.

Winsock VB POST - No Response
I wrote a VB app to POST data to a PHP script i have on the web. Once the script recieves the data, it processes it and does some database stuff.

The VB app sends the data just fine, but i get no response from the server/script. My PHP script is set up to echo some data (and if you hit it via a web form instead of VB, you get a response.)

Under data arrival (winsock), i get a NULL response but it says there are like 300 bytes of data. What i mean by NULL is i tried to display strdata (winsock1.getdata strdata) in a a msgbox and textbox.. and nothing appears.

any suggestions?

Winsock Post Operation..
anyone got any idea how to do something like login to a webpage using winsock?
someone told me that you (somehow) send the username and pass to the page (both urlencoded), it will then return a cookie header and then you include the header in every request you make..

thanks for your time!

VB, Winsock API, HTTP Post
I'm making a program that sends post data to a server. it's been working great until I tried to use my post sub to submit/update a webpage. the problem is it's only sending part of the post data. here is my post code...

Code:
Private Function PostUrl(url As String, data As String, Optional Referer As String = "")
    On Error GoTo errHandler
    Dim tosend As String

    tosend = "POST " & GetDomainPath(url).Path & " HTTP/1.1" & vbCrLf
    tosend = tosend + "Accept: image/gif, image/x-xbitmap, image/jpeg, image/pjpeg, application/vnd.ms-excel, application/vnd.ms-powerpoint, application/msword, */*" & vbCrLf
    If Referer <> "" Then tosend = tosend + "Referer: " & Referer & vbCrLf
    tosend = tosend + "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" & vbCrLf
    tosend = tosend + "Host: " & WinSock1.LocalIP & vbCrLf
    tosend = tosend + "Content-Length: " & Len(data) & vbCrLf
    tosend = tosend + "Cookie: " & MakeCookieStr(url) & vbCrLf
    tosend = tosend + vbCrLf & data & vbCrLf
    Header = tosend

    txtSource = ""
    With WinSock1
        If .State <> sckClosed Then .CloseSocket
        .RemoteHost = GetDomainPath(url).Site
        .RemotePort = 80
        .Connect
    End With
    tmrTimeOut.Enabled = True
    PostUrl = PostTag(url, data, Referer, Action)

errHandler:
    ErrorIn "frmWebPage.PostUrl(url,data,Referer)", Array(url, data, Referer)
End Function 'PostUrl(url As String, data As String, Optional Referer As String = "")

I looked at data var, it's compleat. so I know it's passing everything. for some reason though it's not "submiting" it all to the page. any ideas on why this may be? btw, I am useing winsock api, just got a class that acts alot like the winsock control. but doesn't need the ocx

Winsock With HTTP-POST
Hi,

I'm fairly new to VB6 and have started working on my second application.

I require the application to send a string to a PHP page on a website and have the PHP page handle the string sent.

I can establish the connection with winsock fine, but i'm unsure as to where to go next.

I've have a decent amount of knowledge with PHP, but just getting the data from VB6 to PHP is where i'm stuck.

After reading numerous posts and tutorials, everything seems to be pointing at using HTTP-POST, but none have succeeded in helping me to accomplish my goal.

If anyone could kick me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated.

Alternate HTTP POST Method Using XMLHTTP (Winsock/INET Control Problems)
I have a rather large application that we have been developing at work for about a year now that has a custom VB6 client and an ASP/VBScript server backend.

The application has been running pretty good on the INET control using the HTTP GET method for posting our queries to the server, but we have recently encountered the problem where some of our forms are larger then the 2k limit on HTTP GET. We have tried modifying the size of the allowed GET query/URL on the server (IIS6) but have been unable to get this to work either.

We then tried switching over to HTTP POST using INET and the StateChanged event. The problem is that the StateChanged event will never execute because the .Execute is located in a Module, but the INET Control and StateChanged event are located on our main Form. ARGH! Nothing we try seems to work with this method, and there are 100's of routines on aprox 20 forms that are calling our code in the Module when they need to query the server!

Yesterday I tried playing around with using the WinSock control - BUT IT SEEMS TO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM! I am thinking there is a "bug" of sorts in VB6 that will not allow the StateChanged to fire if you utilize a control from another form or module that is not the original form the control is located on.

Today I am looking for a new method of implementing HTTP POST and retrieving the results that does not require the use of StateChanged. Any ideas?

Thanks for your time,

Winsock1.SendData strCommand

End Sub

Private Sub Winsock1_DataArrival(ByVal bytesTotal As Long)
' get data and send to textbox
Dim webData As String
Winsock1.GetData webData, vbString
Text1.Text = webData
Winsock1.Close
End Sub

I get the following info in my Text box:

HTTP/1.1 302 Moved Temporarily
Server: Microsoft-IIS/4.0
Date: Wed, 24 Sep 2003 08:33:49 GMT
Content-Type: text/html
Set-Cookie: nonsession=AQAAAAIA... "Bunch of Code to long to list"
Location: http://signin.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayIS...L=0&bshowgif=0

I'm expecting to get the html page of "cookies not truned on", which I'm going to try to deal with later, but I get nothing.

Any ideas what may be wrong?
I was successful using Inet but since I'm dealing with cookies I figure I would try the Winsock route.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

TIA,
Tony

Winsock Connection Prob: &"Request To Connection Time Out&".
Hi All,

I am developing chat application like Yahoo and MSN messenger. Also i have almost completed it. I have two applications one is server appliation which will be run on chat server machine. the other is client appliation which will be used at any corner of the world.

Its working fine on my network. Ya, it is also working fine over network but with some misbehaviour. Sometimesm, it allow someone to login and sometimes it doesn't and gives "Request to connection time out" error.. I can't find the reason y it is happening.

I have developed this in visual basic and used winsock control.

Get Request
Hi,

I have been reading this forum almost daily for months now and until now I have been able to find all of my answers through searches but today seems to be the exception - and maybe that is just because I am dense.

Anyway, I am trying to talk to a SitePlayer device via the internet. Right now my device is set up on a local network so its local IP is 10.0.0.12

Now the html command for what I want to do, if I were to do it from a web page is:

<form method="get" action="task02.spi?baud=65406">
<input type="text" name="com" MAXLENGTH="80" SIZE="80"></input>

This creates a text box and when the page is reloaded, whatever has been typed into the text box is sent out the serial port of the Siteplayer.

Ok, so far so good.

Question #1: How do I send that EXACT same command, text box and all, from visual basic (preferably using inet)?

Question #2: How do I send the "Get command" along with the string from the text box without referencing the text box in any way...so if I have a string strdata and I want to send that to the Siteplayer via the Get command, what is the VB equivalent of the above HTML?

I know the answer is simple but for some reason the get command is evading my understanding. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Alisha
