HTTP Post to a remote server - ASP / Active Server Pages

microsoft.public.dotnet.languages.vb

Hi All,

I have an asp page. There I enter some text. This text needs to go some
other web site but as jsp page ( such as http://www.web.com/Link.jsp).

Now, I was told to submit my asp page as HTTP Post to their jsp page.
This is completely a new thing for me to do.

I was following the sample given in
http://www.aspfaq.com/show.asp?id=2173

url = "http://www.auto.com/Link.jsp"
set xmlhttp = CreateObject("M SXML2.ServerXML HTTP")
xmlhttp.open "POST", url, false
xmlhttp.setRequ estHeader "Content-Type",
"applicatio n/x-www-form-urlencoded"
xmlhttp.send "CID=342&PWD=34 2&SID=342&VIN=a ny vin"
Response.write xmlhttp.respons eText
set xmlhttp = nothing

My question is how can I use variable in VIN field there.
Also, it was giving me error message when I use the actual VIN in the
above link.
Error: There is a problem with the page you are trying to reach and it
cannot be displayed.

I am not sure whether MSXML2 is installed in the web server (IIS 5.0).

Could any one please help me. I will highly appreciate that.

Thanks a million in advance.

Kindest regards,

mamun

you dont have to do it that way,
Just set your <FORM> tag with the remote URL. Set the Action and Method of
the tag.

Otherwise...
xmlhttp.send "CID=342&PWD=34 2&SID=342&VIN =" & yourVariable

HTTP Posts

Doing a serverside post and ending up at post server

by: John Dalberg | last post by:

Hello For a single signon solution, I am putting a login form for a remote server on my own site. When the form gets posted, the asp.net creates a httpwebrequest object, does the post, gets the request, flushes the current response object, puts the response from the post into the current post and it gets sent back to the browser. The browser shows the after login page correctly. The problem is that the browser's url is still showing...

The server requires the header to be present with the request. For security reasons, it will not reply in any way if the header is not present. ...

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
