posted May 2, 2000 9:13 PM Is there an example of using the HTTP control to upload a file to a web server? I am reviewing the product but all examples I've found are posting fields instead of sending a file via HTTP POST. |

posted May 2, 2000 11:03 PM The methods seem pretty straight forward. Was there something you tried that didn't work? |

posted July 17, 2000 1:47 AM This thread caught my attention as I am testing this software for an automated file uploading application. I cannot find any references to attaching a file to the POST as opposed to just data. I have tried using post with the file name in the data argument like "file1=e:\test.txt", but this doesn't pass the actual file. The server claims that the post works but the file wasn't there. I don't think the file is being put in the Header where RFC 1867 expects it to be. It would be nice to have an example of posting a file, or some help on this particular form of posting. |

posted July 17, 2000 1:54 PM try it with the data argument as "e:\test.txt" also, make sure that the timeout value is high enough to allow the entire transfer (or that it is 0) -ken |

posted July 18, 2000 7:56 PM I have now given up on use Web Tool, I could not get it to POST the file. It would appear to fool the server into thinking it had received the file, but not send any data. I would suggest that Dart add a working example of this, otherwise I won't be even considering purchasing it. I have managed to get it working using msxml3.dll, and the XMLHTTP30 class. But I have had to learn a bit about HTTP, and how to format data. It would certainly be easier to have one a DLL that did a little neater, but I would have to be confident that it did what I wanted. |

posted November 13, 2000 6:24 PM I have mailed you about this but anyone else reading, especially DART staff, please please please can you provide a simple example of uploading using POST to the MS Posting Acceptor. I will definitely register your WebTool library if you can only show me that it works how I need it to! Thanks |
