Visual Basic :: HELP: Winsock To Send HTTP POST REQUEST To A Machine

How Do I Send A Simple HTTP Request?
The code I have right now (copied from Microsoft's website) is this:
CODE    Dim hInternetSession       As Long
    Dim hInternetConnect       As Long
    Dim hHttpOpenRequest       As Long
    Dim sBuffer               As String * 1024
    Dim lBufferLength         As Long
    lBufferLength = Len(sBuffer)
    hInternetSession = InternetOpen(scUserAgent, _
        INTERNET_OPEN_TYPE_PRECONFIG, vbNullString, vbNullString, 0)
    hInternetConnect = InternetConnect(hInternetSession, _

Still Trying To Send Cookie With HTTP Request
I can communicate with the server and the app works as long as a cookie exists on the workstation I am running on. The problem is that I need to be able to run on a workstation that does not have a cookie. I cut and pasted this out of Microsoft's VBHTTP example program. The cookie is just not going out correctly, if at all. Can anyone see what I am doing wrong? Thanks!

The URL is: is009999/dummy.com/ExprexxXXX?AccountId=12345678&TXN=SearchByAccountId&Format=XML"

Code: hInternetSession = InternetOpen(scUserAgent, INTERNET_OPEN_TYPE_PRECONFIG, _

Send Post Request To A Webpage
What's the "fastest" way to send a HTTP POST request to a webpage?

I know the winsock method. But I believe it is kinda slow.

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

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

[VB6] Winsock POST Request Problem
I'm trying to connecto to google.com and translate a simple word (just to test if works).

And I have a problem when I'm sending POST request data, here is my code:

Code:
Private Sub Command1_Click()
Winsock1.Close
Winsock1.Connect "www.google.com", "80"
End Sub

Private Sub Winsock1_Connect()
Dim packet As String
Dim strpost As String

strpost = "hl=it&ie=UTF8&text=hello&sl=en&sl=en&tl=it&tl=it"

packet = "POST /translate_t HTTP/1.1" & vbCrLf
packet = packet & "Host: www.google.com" & vbCrLf
packet = packet & "Accept: */*" & vbCrLf
packet = packet & "Accept-Language: it,it-it;q=0.8,en;q=0.5,en-us;q=0.3" & vbCrLf & vbCrLf

packet = packet & "Content-Type: " & "application/x-www-form-urlencoded" & vbCrLf
packet = packet & "Content-Length: " & Len(strpost) & vbCrLf
packet = packet & strpost

Winsock1.SendData packet

Text1.Text = Text1.Text & packet

End Sub

Private Sub Winsock1_DataArrival(ByVal bytesTotal As Long)
Dim data As String

Winsock1.GetData data
Text2.Text = Text2.Text & data & vbCrLf

End Sub

As you can see I want the GETDATA in Text2.Text but I recieve this error:

Code:

What's the problem?!

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 = ""

        .Connect
    End With
    tmrTimeOut.Enabled = True
    PostUrl = PostTag(url, data, Referer, Action)
    Exit Function
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.

How To Send HTTP Post Data Such As That Created By A HTML FORM And Send The Data To A Server
Hello List,

I am looking for examples in how to send HTTP Post data to a server and
wonder if anybody will have an example I can refer to.

Best regards,

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,

Http Request
can anyone tell how to capture http requests in order to block websites?

HTTP Request
....my project is written as an ActiveX component, and doesn't have any
form. I need to make a HTTP request to an IIS server and get the contents of
a specific ASP file through this component. I'm trying to use the WebBrowser
control, and using the WebBrowser.Navigate2 "url" method to get at this
file. However, I keep getting an error saying 'invalid procedure call or
argument'. I've also tried using the XMLHTTPRequest object, with no success.

I'm assuming this is because the it's within an ActiveX project... I've
managed to do the same thing successfully using a WebBrowser control (with the same URL) when the
project is a standard EXE. Anyone know of any other way to achieve this?

Any thoughts, ideas, musing....thanks!

HTTP Request Headers
Please help if you can. I am sending a GET request and I want to exactly emulate the IE HTTP Request Headers. I have even used a packet sniffer to try to replicate the request headers and have still have not found one way to write them that works for all GET requests. I get some to work with "& CrLf & CrLf" on the end of the headers and other times I have to put "& CrLf & CrLf & CrLf & CrLf" on the end to avoid getting a bad request message from the web sever I am sending the request to. If anyone know exactly what I should send in my HTTP Request headers to emulate IE, I would GREATLY appreciate it. Thanks!

Login & Password In HTTP Request

Opinion Request - FTP, SFTP, HTTP, Or OTHER???
Hello all. We have bookkeeping/accounting/tax software program that we wrote in VB6 which various clients use. We currently have them email us a .txt file of data which we then manually import into our master program. We also have a new web site, and .com domain, but I'm not sure of the potential for either in this regard.

My question is, what do you all recommend as the best approach to automate that data entry process: FTP, SFTP, HTTP, or OTHER??? Note that in the future we may also automate the "banking" part of this to where "direct deposit" of money is involved. So, confidential information like social security numbers and possibly bank routing numbers may be involved in the future.

If I understand the principles of this correctly, we just need to have the client send, or post the data somewhere, then we need to be able to get it and import it. What I have no idea about is what is the best approach to do all that or if it can be done in one step. What are the pro's and con's of the various methods?

Thank you for any input and suggestions on what you would recommend and why.

Get IP Address (external) From HTTP Request
Hello everybody.
While making an HTTP Request, there are lots of information about the client in the HTTP Header, such as IP address of the client. So its possible to get the client's IP address; the external IP by looking for it in the header. So what I want is to send a request to abc.com, grab the header and then filter the IP address out of it.
So any help on how can I start this?
Thanks.

i just want to write a vb programm (activex thing used in another webpage) that uses a html page to post an image file.

i got the code to work but only once...
when i start the ocx it possible to make one request to the page, which functions quite well (althou it still dosn't upload a file - but don't care) and after compleating the function the programm goes on running but its not possible to klick anything or do anything.... the mousecursor stays set to bussy but the programm is just waiting for userinteraction....
so i just can stop the activex and rerun it - it works again but just once

I have been working on an application that will upload a zip file from a computer to a websever using HTTP POST. I have been able to transmit data that would otherwise appear as text, but I have been having problems with the binary data in the zip file. I can upload it fine using a standard web form (input type="file" name="zip_file"...), but when I try sending the same file from my program, I only get the first 800 bytes or so. Here are some code fragments.

First, This is the code used to make the buffer which will be posted. UrlEncode remove spaces and other forbidden characters from the username. That part works perfectly.

Code:

Private Sub LoadZipFile()
On Error GoTo LoadError
Dim tempBuffer As String

user = mUpload.UrlEncode(user)

mUpload.postBuffer = "handle=" + user + "&zip_file="

Open zipPath For Binary Access Read As #1
Dim length As Long
length = LOF(1)
tempBuffer = String$(LOF(1), 0)
Get #1, , tempBuffer
Close #1
length = Len(tempBuffer)
mUpload.postBuffer = mUpload.postBuffer + tempBuffer
length = Len(tempBuffer)
workState = 6
Exit Sub

LoadError:
MsgBox ("There was an error loading the zip file to memory.")
workState = 9
End Sub
And later after all the connections are made, the buffer sent to the server using this code. hURL is a handle to the script on the server, returned from HttpOpenRequest from the winInet.dll library. HttpSendRequest is part of the same library.

Code:
If HttpSendRequest(hURL, "", 0, postBuffer, Len(postBuffer)) Then

Http Post
how do I do an http post?

HTTP Post
Hello everyone,

I really hope someone can help me with my problem.

My company recently signed up with a credit card processing firm. Everytime a CC is processed the firm places it onto their website. In order for us to get this information we need to go to their site and enter parameters to view the information. They have supplied me with an html button that I can view the source and see all the parameters that I need to pass so I can view the report. They also informed me that I need to use HTTP Post if trying to use VB to accomplish what their web button did.

I am attempting to create a VB program that will pass these parameters to their site so we can automate this process in the background and don't actually have to visit the site.

Now, for my problem.

I have been attempting to use the Inet.execute , "Post" command to send these parms but it doesn't seem to be working.
I believe that I may have the format wrong or something of that sort.

I have included a text file that has the html code for the button. I did however remove all the login info so if it is clicked you will only see a login screen.

If someone could show me the correct way to send this info to their server I should get a report shown when I run the program.

I 'm hoping someone could give me an example of what I need to do to get this into my VB app.

If I can get it to the page the report is on I can handle retrieving the information from the site.

If I am unclear or anyone would like more info, please let me know and I'll get back to you asap.

File.txt - If this is renamed to File.html it will show a button that can be clicked. When this is clicked it will show a login screen since I removed the login information.

Code.txt - This contains the code I am using in VB to try and perform the same action that the html button is performing.

Thanks in advance for all the help,
Solturus
