Visual Basic :: Winsock : GET Http Gives Me Bad Request , Why?

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

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
I am doing a HTTP Request to Exchange Server to retrieve some users Calendar data. Such as

http://exchange.company.com/public/?...nis.company.my

It returns me with a result into XML Format about the user availability.
That all works fine for me, except that i have to provide login and Password for exchange server. Can i include login/password in a HTTP Request (URL) itself. Later i have to integrate it in my VB Program and Parse XML. Please advise.

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.

Vb Uploads A File Via Http Request

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....

Making A Http Request From An ActiveX Control
Can i make a http request from an activeX control to a asp page. Are there any standard controls or dlls available for perfoming this task. If so what are they? Pls help fast...

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.

Http Request Header, Question About "Host:"
Hi everyone
When I make an HTTP request using winsocket I use the following:

Code:
GET http://www.somewebsite/index.html HTTP/1.1
Host: "--------"
..... and the reset of the request header

my question is, if I'm connecting to the internet using proxy server what should I put in "Host:"? Should it be the website I'm requesting from or the proxy server I'm using that is:
Host: www.somewebsite
or
Host: myproxyserver

Actually, I tried both, and it seems that both are working but I don't want to depend on guessing, one or the other is the correct way. Could someone please help me with this one.

Thanks

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
I'm at work where I can't get to any help files for winsock.

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.

But the problem, if i put "http://www.geocities.com" or "www.geocities.com" in the RemoteIP property, i get an error becuase it has to be a numeric value..

Anybody know how to get the IP address for "http://www.geocities.com", or anybody know how to switch these kinds of things so no matter what site somebody types in it always converts it to an IP address and sends them there, im so lost! I gotta use the winsock control though

HTTP With WinSock
OK, what i need is very simple. I need the user to be able to
connect to my machine through the browser. I want WinSock to
then send some HTML data out. Is this possible?

I can get it to connect via the browser, but when i send the
HTML, the browser just goes to the "page cannot be displayed"
thing.

Someone...anyone...help

I've worked with sockets in mirc and I basically just tried to translate the code into vb. I think this

Code:
socket.SendData "User-Agent Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1) " & vbCrLf & vbCrLf
is the problem. Could someone show me the correct way to send that string, thanks
