Post Info To A URL Using Asp Script And Getting Results Like Http Method Post.
I am trying to find script or just where to start.
I want to use asp script (server side) to post some hidden info to another server(URL), then get the info back from the return page and parse through the text to return a page based on the text in the return page.
I Don't want to have the user forwarded to the page that the post is going to I just want to post info to the URL and get the data back. Then create a page based on the data.
Any help with this will be much appreciated.

HTTP POST In VB6
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
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

HTTP POST
Does anyone know of a reliable HTTP/HTTPS Post control that is multi-threading?

I am currently using the Mabry control, its okay but it garbles some web servers returns, so I am looking for an alternative.

Http Post Perhaps?
I need to do the following:

When the user of my program opens it, I need to check his or her username and password via an ASP page. IE: User opens program, program communicates to the ASP page(http://myserver.com/login.asp), and then verifys the user or denys the user depending on the username and password submitted. Both the ASP and Visual Basic code used to achieve this would be nice, but I'll settle for the Visual Basic code.

I was looking into the inet control for doing this but I have no idea where to start...If someone could kindly point me into the right direction I would appreciate it.

Http Post To Service?
I've been looking through the forums, but, since this is all new to me, I'm afraid I'm more confused now than when I started.

We have a VB app that needs to call a Java service so that the service can update an Oracle database at the completion of a transaction. On the Java side, the developer has offered us a URL to use, but this causes a blank IE sceen to appear. I can use the VB InternetExplorer object and set the Visible property = 0, but we're still seeing the Internet Explorer splash page which will be some what distracting to the user.

What is the best way to connect to this service that that it remains a background process and COMPLETELY unseen by the user?

I've been looking into http post, but I'm not real clear on the best direction (inet, winsock, etc.).

Thanx in advance!!!!

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)
    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.

Receiving An HTTP POST
Can anyone tell me how to receive an HTTP POST on IIS (Microsoft's Internet Information Server)? I need to accept a POST being sent to me. I have found some information at www.jmarshall.com entitled "HTTP Made Really Easy", but something seems to be missing. Maybe I'm pretty thick in the head, but I don't know how to implement this using VB. Any help would be appreciated.

HTTP POST From MS Access 2003
Hi, not been here for a while, it's good to be back.

My problem is sending a HTTP POST of a file via MS Access to a HTML form that contains username, password and filename fields. This was not my choice - at our end we have created the facility for the company to upload the product catalogue, but for some reason they want to upload it via Access - it's not even an Access file they're uploading!

Anyway, they sent me their attempt to fix, but I'm pretty stuck...


Code:
Public Function DoTransfer(ByVal filename As String) As Boolean

'--Constant Variable Declaration--
Const LOCATION = "http://.........."
Const USERNAME = "......"
Const PASSWORD = "....."
Const BOUNDARY = "---------------------------xxxxxxxxxxxx"

'--Variable Declaration--
Dim iFileNum As Integer
Dim lFileLen As Long
Dim strfile As String
Dim request As New WinHttpRequest

'--Convert file to string--
iFileNum = FreeFile
Open filename For Binary Access Read As #iFileNum
lFileLen = LOF(iFileNum)
strfile = String(lFileLen, " ")
Get iFileNum, 1, strfile

'--Header String Creation--
d = "--" & BOUNDARY & vbCrLf
d = d + "content-Disposition: form-data; name=""usernameField""" + vbCrLf + vbCrLf + USERNAME + vbCrLf
d = d + "--" & BOUNDARY & vbCrLf
d = d + "content-Disposition: form-data; name=""passwordField""" + vbCrLf + vbCrLf + PASSWORD + vbCrLf
d = d + "--" & BOUNDARY & vbCrLf
d = d + "content-Disposition: form-data; name=""filenameField"";"
d = d + " filename=""" + filename + """" & vbCrLf
d = d + "Content-type: text/plain" + vbCrLf + vbCrLf
'd = d + "Content-type: application/x-zip-compressed" + vbCrLf + vbCrLf
d = d + strfile & vbCrLf & "--" & BOUNDARY & "--"

'--Convert to Byte--
apostbody = StrConv(d, vbFromUnicode)

'--Run HTTP--
request.Open "POST", LOCATION, False
request.SetRequestHeader "content-type", "multipart/form-data; boundary=" + BOUNDARY
request.Send apostbody

End Function
Basically the code needs to send a file plus a username and password to the form and invoke the submit - the code behind of the page will then do the rest.

The form looks like....


Code:
<table cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<td>Username:</td>
<td><input name="usernameField" type="text" id="usernameField" style="width:230px;" /></td>
<td></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Password:</td>
<td><input name="passwordField" type="password" id="passwordField" style="width:230px;" /></td>
<td></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Filename:</td>
<td><input name="filenameField" type="file" id="filenameField" style="height:22px" /></td>
<td><input type="submit" name="BtUpload" value="Upload" id="BtUpload" style="height:22px;" /></td>
</tr>
</table>
If anyone has any ideas I'd be most grateful!! Thanks....

&lt;solved&gt; VB6 Application HTTP POST To ASP
Stuck with what appears to be quite a simple problem....

Trying to send an SQL statement to a database via ASP using a client application (written in VB for now as thats all i;ve got at home)

Here's the subroutine from the VB Application



VB Code:
Private Sub Synchronise_Click()       Dim oXMLHttp      Dim oADORec      Dim sXML      Dim URL      Dim getxml      Dim anothing      Dim aString      aString = "sqlsentence=SELECT+*+FROM+Data"                  Set oXMLHttp = CreateObject("MSXML2.XMLHTTP")         URL = "http://localhost/test/default.asp"       oXMLHttp.Open "POST", URL, False      oXMLHttp.send aString       If oXMLHttp.Status = 200 Then        sXML = oXMLHttp.responseText   ' Retrieve from server      End If       Set oXMLHttp = Nothing   End Sub

Here's the ASP code :-
the config.asp sets up the database connection


Code:
<!--#include file="config.asp"-->
<%

on error resume next

dim mySQL, conntemp, rstemp, counter, version

call openDb()
' get SQL sentence from previous form
mySql= request.form("sqlsentence")

if mySql="" then
response.redirect "message.asp?message="&Server.Urlencode("Please enter a valid query")

counter=0

set rstemp=conntemp.execute(mySQL)

sqlsentence isn;t getting passed onto the asp page.
any ideas?

Testing POST To HTTP Form
I'm trying to learn about HTTP POST to 1. fill in form data and 2. to send a file in the POST header.

I'm using the code below:
Private Sub Command1_Click()
Dim strURL As String, strFormData As String
strURL = "url with a static form and submit button"
strFormData = "text1=fromVB_post&text2=second_line "
Inet1.Execute strURL, "POST", strFormData, _
"Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" & vbCrLf & vbCrLf
Do Until Form1.Inet1.StillExecuting = False 'wait 4 dwnld
DoEvents
Loop
Debug.Print strFormData & " " & strURL
'waiting

Debug.Print Inet1.OpenURL("http://www.yahoo.com")
End Sub

But of course I don't have code there which will cause the data to be submitted. Instead, I get a 405 error on the page. This seems like it should be easy, but it doesn't work. The key here is submitting to a dumb form. Right now I'm trying to post to a form created using frontpage extensions, and eventually I'll post to a web server running cgi.

Any ideas?

How To Post Binary File Using HTTP ???
Hi,

I'm hoping someone can show me how to post a binary file trough http form using VB. I tried 2 different things already. I tried to use the IPWorks! V4 HTTP compoenent, and the other one is MSXML30.

Actually the problem is it won't let me upload any file (not even plain/text file type). I know for sure that the posting acceptor script is working just fine because I can do upload using web browser (IE and Netscape).

This is the error message that I get from the IIS :
Error occurred when moving cached file to final destination........

Thanks.

Capturing HTTP-POST From IE Control Within VB
Hi All,

Problem Statement:
I've a Stand-alone PC, No connection to Internet nor any other kind of network / web-server. Only Win 9x or NT or 2K installed, *no* local web server (PWS/IIS). I would load a HTML page on local machine in a WebBrowser Or InternetExplorer control from a VB application. The HTML page would be some form with typical data entry controls such as list-boxes, text area, radio buttons, check boxes etc. It would be Javascript based validations and dynamic controls generation. The form would have a button which would either use a post method or query-string method to send the form data to other page / web-server.

As there is no web server (not even localhost) to post, I would like capture all the form data inside the VB application and store it in local disk. That means I should be able to capture the POST or GET event of the browser control.

Please help me in achieving this.

Thanks & best regards,
Prasad

Inet Control, Http POST With Text &amp; Files
Hi!

I'm trying to create an activex control for use on a web page that allow drag 'n drop functionality. (user select multiple files on their desktop, drags them onto the web page (specifically the activex control) which then uses the inet control to post (via http) the files to an asp page.

I'm actually pretty far along. I've looked through these forums and found some great examples. For the most part though, it looks like the examples are for text (data retrieved from text fields).

Right now I'm stuck on assembling the post data before handing it off to the inet control. I've created boundaries (unique to each post) and have the correct header information (strHeaderData)

strHeaderData and strPostData are both strings. I *think* that the inet control is expecting a string as post data, but I'm not sure. When the user selects a couple of images to upload, I need to read the file information and (I guess) add it to the strPostData? (This is where I am a little confused) I'm using the FileSystemObject to open the file and used the .readall method to get the contents into a string. Is this the correct way of doing it? A gif or jpg would contain binary information - is the conversion happening behind the scenes or do I have to do it manually. (my next question - which formats do I need to convert to and from)

Sorry if I sound confused. My background is really in vbscript & C#. I've only done a couple of "visual basic" projects and I'm sure they could be better.

Thanks!

Public objHTTP As New MSXML.XMLHttpRequest

Private Sub example()

Dim strWebPage As String
strWebPage = "http://wherever.com"
objHTTP.Open "POST", strWebPage, False
objHTTP.setRequestHeader "Connection", "Keep-Alive"
objHTTP.setRequestHeader "Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"
submurl = "siteId=&uname=hello&pwd=there"
objHTTP.send submurl
Do While objHTTP.readyState <> 4
DoEvents
Loop

' let's assume that the POST was successful and left me in a different place than where i started (i.e. wherever.com)
'how do i get the current URL of the page i just landed on?

>> msgbox display current URL
end sub

Images In Byte Array For Binary Http POST?
Hello,

I am having trouble building a multipart form post that must contain images
in binary format.

Building the text parts of the form is no problem and working fine, however
I am not sure how to build the images ( which can be accessed either from a
SQL BLOB or the file system) into the POST data.

I was thinking a byte array may be an option as I can use the StrConv functi
on to store the text in the array but am not sure how I can add the jpeg to
the array? I believe i can post the entire array using xmlHttp

Other suggestions appreciated - whatever gets me home and I'll go the long w
ay as this is urgent!

thanks in advance

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
