posted June 8, 2000 4:07 PM thanks for the help. i checked out the post sample program. however, if i were to send the following http request: POST /cgi-bin/test?action=submit HTTP/1.0\n Content-Type: text/xml;charset=UTF-8\n Content-Length: 10\n \n" + abcdefghij can i do that with WebTool? if so, where should the data string "action=submit" and "abcdefghij" go? |

posted June 8, 2000 4:24 PM Is that request generated by something? Why do you feel that's what the request should look like? |

posted June 8, 2000 4:57 PM the message is HTTP compliant, i.e., i can directly open a socket to the web server, write the request as is and the server will return some results. gary |

posted June 8, 2000 5:14 PM Try this: Http1.Timeout = 10000 Http1.Url = "hostname/cgi-bin/test?action=submit" Dim Header As New DartStrings Header.Add "Content-Type: text/xml;charset=UTF-8" Http1.Post "abcdefghij", Header Where hostname is your site. |

posted October 19, 2000 4:34 PM I tried to use the example from the message above but I am not able to get it to work. In my case the code looks like this Http1.Url = "hostname/cgi-bin/test.asp" Dim Header As New DartStrings Header.Add "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded\n SOAPAction: Hello\n" Http1.Post "abcdefghij", Header When I post this information to the server the header information is not getting posted. On the server I check for Request.ServerVariables("HTTP_SOAPACTION") and it returns me nothing. Please help. |

posted October 19, 2000 4:42 PM That's beacuse you are trying to use \n in VB, which doesn't do what you want it to do. Try this instead: Header.Add "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" Header.Add "SOAPAction: Hello" |
