Re:how to send data to a server with the post method

Use a HTTP component that supports post (like Indy) or use a TClientSocket
and send the following string/data.

// ----------------------------
POST /scripts/somescript.dll HTTP/1.0
Host: TheServer.com
Content-Length: 11

a=1&b=2&c=3
// ----------------------------
Note the cr/lf between the http header and the post data.

Re:how to send data to a server with the post method

Hi !

I cannot find the exact data to send with Indy Thttpclient.

I tried the following,
I tried also without the 3 and 4 first lines, since these informations are
already entered in the component properties.
------------------------------------------------
POST /Test/MyTest.php3 HTTP/1.0
Host: www.myhost.com
Content-Length: 11

p1=v1&p2=v2
----------------------------------------------------

The script never gets any value in parameters p1, p2.
It works with a form...

Thanks for help !

Try

SL.Add('p1=v1');
SL.Add('p2=v2');

IdHttp1.Post('http://www.myhost.com/Test/MyTest.php3 ', SL, res);

SL is TStringList and res is result stream.

Re:how to send data to a server with the post method

Hi !

I have tried it... and result is the same.
The source :
Requete := TStringList.Create ;
Requete.Add ( 'A=001');
Requete.Add ( 'B=123456');
Reponse := TStringStream.Create ('') ;
http.post ( 'http://www.mrit.com/Essais/Demande.php3', Requete, Reponse );
showmessage ( Reponse.DataString );

I get a response, with every constant string printed by the script, all
parameters are blank.

This is the script :
<html>
<head>
<title>Demande</title>
</head>
<body>
<?php
print ( "paramtres : <BR>" );
print ( "A = $A <BR>" );
print ( "B = $B <BR>" );
?>
</body>
</html>

A form at http://www.mrit.com/Essais/TestDemande.htm returns the expected
result...

Any idea ? Any parameter that I could have forget ?

Regards.
