Hi,

I am requested to transfer Data to a server using HTTPS and the POST Method.

I understand that HTTPS is supported by loadurl(), but how do I do the POST
?

(I know how to do get, but that is not accepted)

Thanks

Stephan

I'm not sure exactly, but POST is fed as a continuous stream through
the socket.  My guess would be that you create the HTTP header naming
POST instead of GET, then pass the data as if it were a document.

Check out the relevant RFC at www.ref-editor.org/rfcsearch.html

Hello Stephan

Doesn't:

oadFromUrl( <cURL>,[<nPortNumber>],[<nProtocol>],[<cProxyUrl>],[<acByPass> ]
,[<cMethod>],[<cPostString>] )
with
   cMethod := "POST"
   cPostString := "arg1=val1&arg2=val2&..."
do that?

I'm not claiming that it does, because I did not try it. But I took it for
granted for some future retrieving data via SSL.... =8(

> loadFromUrl(
<cURL>,[<nPortNumber>],[<nProtocol>],[<cProxyUrl>],[<acByPass> ]
> ,[<cMethod>],[<cPostString>] )

Well, I did not think it was that easy. I simply did not understand the Help
File, but now I think it will do the job.

I will have it tested right away.

THANKS

Stephan

HI Stephan

Do post here, if you that work. I currently use a small free DOS utility
named CURL to submit via POST method.
