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,

Inet Post Method

Which way is the post data meant to be formatted?

something like this??

strPostData = "option=value&option1=value1&option2=value2"

or is it like this??

strPostData = "option=value option1=value1 option2=value2"

Any ideas?

How Can I Post To Fields On Website In IE
i know how to post information to fields in a webbrowser control..can you do same things to fields in IE???

VB Post To Website? *SOLVED!!*
Hey all

Ok so I've been trying to get this stupid script to work for the past 3 hours... I'm HOPING someone in here can help me out!

I'm making a program that communicates with a website, but it's not going so well. I'm trying to POST data, but it won't do it!
Here's what I have going....

Code:
d = "POST /login.asp HTTP/1.1" & vbCrLf & _
"Accept: */*" & vbCrLf & _
"Accept-Language: en-us" & vbCrLf & _
"Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" & vbCrLf & _
"Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate" & vbCrLf & _
"User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0; .NET CLR 1.1.4322)" & vbCrLf & _
"Host: (host of my site)" & vbCrLf & _
"Content-Length: 14" & vbCrLf & _
"Connection: Keep-Alive" & vbCrLf & _
"Cache-Control: no-cache" & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & _
"Username=Esona"

Now, theoretically that SHOULD work. you send that data to the server, the server accepts it and does it's little thing.. but it doesn't!
the data will send, the server will receive, but it doesn't do anything about the variable I put in (Username=Esona)

does ANYONE have any clue how to do this? In a nutshell, I want to make a program with the login enviorment (usrname/password), when you hit Submit, it goes to http://www.site.com/login.asp, sends the username and password, the site replies back saying "ok, continue"

And in advance, I don't want to use the webbrowser control

Post Data To Website Without Loading Browser?
How do i post data that is say stored in some variables in VB, to a remote website using a method similar to Method=Post to post the details. Or is there a simpler way? Also the program needs to be hidden, preferably running as an NT4 Service (if anyone knows how to do that be my guest) so i dont want it to load any browsers, or it can load them but make them invisble to the user.

The reason i want it to be a service is so that it works when Nobdy is logged on.

I try to retreive the html data via the XMLhttp method in VBA, but the response text says my browser does not support frames. I'm not even sure if I'm doing this right. Can anyone teach me what is going on in this situation? Thanks.

Inet Post
Hey

On my website I have a contact form, and i bascially want to emulate that in Visual Basic. The PHP script I am using is this...

<?php

// headers for the email listed below

$headers .= "From: $name <$email>
"; // your email client will show the person's email address like normal
$headers .= "Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1
"; // sets the mime type
$recipient = "$to"; // enter YOUR email address here
$subject = "Contact Form"; // this is the subject of the email

$msg = "Name: $name Email: $email QuestionSuggestion: $question";

mail($recipient, $subject, stripslashes($msg), $headers); // the mail() function sends the message to you

//Once the data is entered, redirect the user to give them visual confirmation
header("location: www.xswap.co.uk");
?>

So from visual basic, presumable using Inet, I need to post to this "emailscript.php", these 4 varibles..

$to
$email
$name
$msg

I've actually done this before but had a hard drive crash, and really can't remember how I achieved it.

Inet Post Form; Help!
I don't know how to sum this up, but I am trying to post form information from this certain website. I don't know if I am allowed to post it, so i'll try and explain. I am quiet knew to Inet, so i'm not familiar with its procedures and what not. Just to give you an idea, the program I am making is for a website kind of like Myspace, a community site. I am trying to make it where it can auto-add users, only for educational use only and personal. I know of how to post data with the headers and such, but what I need to do is get the source or form data from the friend request page. Why? Before you can request a person, it has a TOKEN data that needs to be sent out. So after getting the TOKEN, I would post the header as such:

Code:
POST /member/sendFriendRequest.do HTTP/1.1
Host: www.stickam.com
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.8) Gecko/20071008 Firefox/2.0.0.8
Accept: text/xml,application/xml,application/xhtml+xml,text/html;q=0.9,text/plain;q=0.8,image/png,*/*;q=0.5
Accept-Language: en-us,en;q=0.5
Accept-Encoding: gzip,deflate
Accept-Charset: ISO-8859-1,utf-8;q=0.7,*;q=0.7
Keep-Alive: 300
Connection: keep-alive
Referer: http://www.stickam.com/member/preSendFriendRequest.do?friendUserId=174571635..Cookie:

I suppose that would be easy, but in order for it to go through I need to add this in the header:

Code:
org.apache.struts.taglib.html.TOKEN=c83a219710b877e070f5d0ebfe17c1e6&message=&addFriendBtn=Send+Request&userName=shadowman_4&friendUserId=174571635

All I know is the TOKEN is a hidden form in the page before posting the data, I really don't know how to explain. Let me try an outline:
1. Go to friend request page.
2. Click Submit.
3. While clicking the submit it sends the data of a hidden form, TOKEN, if the TOKEN does not authorize with the server the add is rejected.

So, go to friend request page, get the data of the hidden form(TOKEN) then send out the headers for the post.

If you have any other suggestions instead of inet, let me know. Also I do not want to use the WebBrowser control, it is icky and it uses too much CPU and is slow. If you know how to do this in winsock, share an example or some sort.

Thank you ,
mikeyy.

POST Data With Inet
Well I'd like to auth my users into the database on my server by having them connect to a webpage, but the problem is my login page uses POST instead of GET, and I'm not sure how to set that up with inet (or any way at all) with VB6. Any help is appreciated, thanks.

Vb->DB Connection Or Inet POST?
Through VB, i want to add infromation to a database I have on the internet. I know it's possible to connect to a remote mySQL db and all, but would it be wise or stupid to just use the Inet or winsock control to POST data to a PHP script that performs the mySQL commands (all posted data would be encrypted). POST'ing the data is probably not as reliable, but for this application it does not need to be (data may be sent every few minutes).

any suggestions are appreciated.
thanks.

How Come [INET POST RESOLVED]
When I use

TargetDB = "www.mysite.com/service.html"

As a double check it works when I use...

TargetDB = "www.mysite.com/service.html?test=45"
.Inet1.Execute TargetDB

Inet Using Post To Send Data VIA PHP
Hey

On my website i have a contact form, and i bascially want to emulate that in Visual Basic. I dont know much about PHP, and my friend have me the code which allowed me to make the contact form. In the HTTP this is what the form does...

<form name="form1" method="post" action="CContact.php">

The the PHP takes over.

<?php

// headers for the email listed below

$headers .= "From: $name <$email>
"; // your email client will show the person's email address like normal
$headers .= "Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1
"; // sets the mime type
$recipient = "someemail@ntlworld.com"; // enter YOUR email address here
$subject = "Contact Form"; // this is the subject of the email

$msg = "Name: $name Email: $email QuestionSuggestion: $question";

mail($recipient, $subject, stripslashes($msg), $headers); // the mail() function sends the message to you

//Once the data is entered, redirect the user to give them visual confirmation
header("location: thankyou.htm");
?>

Ive added inet to my form, as i know this is what you need to use to do this sort of stuff. However I don't really know what im doing TBH. Ive changed the protocal to icHTTP, and I know you have have to use...

Inet1.Execute <To PHP File>, "POST"

But i have no idea how to emulate the html form. ANY advice will be greatly appreciated.

Large Form POST Using Inet?
How do you send a large amount of text, let say a body of an email, via Inet's POST header?

This is what I have so far:

Code:
With frm_Main.Inet1

strOptions = "email=" & emailaddress & "&subject=" & strSubject & "&body=" & strBody
.Protocol = icHTTP
.URL = "http://www.MyWebsite.com/send_email.asp"
.Execute , "POST", strOptions, "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" & vbCrLf

Do Until .StillExecuting = False
DoEvents
Loop

End With

It works for small POST information the strBody can't handle large. The string information gets cut off.

TIA,
Tony

Post To .net Webservice Using Inet Control
I am trying to use a .net webservice in a vb6 app, but without using a control i have to then put on the client machines.

i have tried posting data to the webservice using the inet control but i keep getting a malformed url error, i'm not sure if im even posting to the correct place

Code:

wsurl = "http://localhost/Email/Email.asmx/SendEmail"
postdata = "isHTML=true&emailTo=me@blah.co.uk&emailFrom=me@blah.co.uk&Subject=this is a test email&Body=this is the body of the test email&applicationName=testapp2&emailID=test2"
Inet1.Execute wsurl, "POST", postdata

-Using INET Control To Post Data
I have a contact form on a webpage and want to post to it from vb6
The contact php form sends me an email with data. I know it works, because i can enter data manually and it sends fine. I'm tying to use the INET control - here is the code:

Code:
Private Sub Command1_Click()
Dim url As String
Dim data As String
Dim header As String

url = http://www.mysite.com/contactus.php
data = ?txtName=1234&txtEmail=ieie@to.com&txtMessage=eifeijeij
header = Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded

Inet1.Execute url, "POST", data, header

End Sub

However, nothing goes through. I've tried changing the data to:

"?txtName=1234&txtEmail=ieie@to.com&txtMessage=eifeijeij"
"txtName=1234&txtEmail=ieie@to.com&txtMessage=eifeijeij"

The HTML for the form is as follows:

    <p>Send Us a Message:</p>
<form method="post" action="/contactus.php">
<fieldset style="width: 434; height: 220">
<legend>Please complete the form in FULL</legend>
    <p><label for="txtName">Name:</label><br />
    <input type="text" title="Enter your name" name="txtName"
    value="" size="20" /></p>

    <p><label for="txtEmail">Email Address:</label><br />
    <input type="text" title="Enter your email address" name="txtEmail"
    value="" size="20" /></p>

    <p><label for="txtMessage">Enter your message/info:</label><br />
    <textarea rows="3" cols="50" title="Enter your message" name="txtMessage"
    value="">

How To Post Data Use Inet Control
Dear All:

When I use
Inet1.Excute "http://xxx.xxx.xxx/cgi/test1.asp?a=123&b=456", "GET"
in my VB6.0 application , it's OK, I can get information from Inet_StateChange events.

Now I want to use "post"
Inet1.Excute "http://xxx.xxx.xxx/cgi/test1.asp", "POST", "a=123&b=456"
in my VB6.0 application, I can't get right information.

Could you help me to solve this "POST" problem?

Than you!!

Method POST
I have a web submission form which uses the method POST for sending the data to the web server. So far, I have implemented the case of method GET where the query string just attach to the URL but with the method POST I don’t know how to enhance the appropriate query string to the body of HTTP request.

For example, I have the below web Form html source code.

<form name="searchform" action="www.myplace.com" method="POST">
<select name="InputType" style="width: 150px;">
<option value="" selected>Any
<option value="button">Hard Button
<option value="screen">Touchscreen </select>
<input type="text" name="InputModel" size="16" value="">
</form>

If the method was the GET, then it will be easy to submit this web form to the server, because the only you have to do is this:
Webbrowser1.navigate htttp://www.myplace.com?InputeType=&InputeModel=

In the case of method POST how this could be done?

Thanks for reading.

Post Method In VB
I actually need to be able to post data to php pages through the post method. The reason is to post informations on a forum automatically. I think I should be using Microsoft Internet Transfer protocol and his execute method, however i don't know how to post all the variables(i.e. name, title, message, etc...). I can even provide you the source code with the html form that makes the posts normally.

Any tips or pointers would be great, thanks.

If the method was the GET, then it will be easy to submit this web form to the server, because the only you have to do is this:
Webbrowser1.navigate htttp://www.myplace.com?InputeType=&InputeModel=

In the case of method POST how this could be done?

Thanks for reading.

Method POST
This is not a VB question, but may be somebody knows a good place to ask CGI questions (maybe a good forum like this one) or an answer to my problem.
I created a perl script and an html file. the perl script is called when the user presses a button on the webpage. This works fine on my local web server, but not on-line. I've tried at more than one provider. I put the .pl file in xx/cgi-bin and the html file in xx/. When I press the button I was talking about, I get the message
"The requested method POST is not allowed for the URL xx/cgi-bin..

Why?

thanx, ds

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.

Refreshing A POST Method With IE 6.0
I am develponing an automated version of I.E. 6.0 that does various things, one that has been giving me problems is refreshing a page that was the result of a posted form. I am using the Webbrowser Control's Refresh2 Method. The problem I am running into is that this is a completely unattended version of IE 6.0 and refreshing a post method bring up a Internet Explorer security dialog box that says "the page cannot be refreshed without resending the information....". I have given up on trying to eliminate this box, but does any one have any ideas of how to control the box with the program? I have tried the Silent() method with no luck. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
