Help, I can figure this out at all..

[Graham Mattingley]

Hi am trying to send POST varables using XMLHTTP and for me it just dont work... this is the code below, can anybody see anything wrong. My page that I have called quote123.asp will display posted varables as I have tested it with another form ???

The weird thing is I got this code for 4guys and it works on on their example, but not locally on my server .... any ideas

<%

Response.Buffer = True
Dim objXMLHTTP, xml
Set xml = Server.CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP")

xml.Open "POST", "http://www.test.co.uk/insurance/quote123.asp", False
xml.setRequestHeader "Content-Type", "content=text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"
xml.Send ("affiliate=100307")

Response.Write xml.responseText

Set xml = Nothing
%>

Works fine.

Remove the Server. From the Server.CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP")
This will load quicker.

I removed the affiliate number.
To keep from sending a hit as if referred from someone.

Hi Dlbjr / Group...

maybe I didnt write it very well, I can get it to work doing what you say below, but it is the posting of 'affiliate=100307 to quote123.asp that I am have trouble with.

If I have a form an I have fields in it, and I use the POST form method then using 'request.form' I can see the form field names and values in the form.

I am trying to simulate the form by being able to post the data 'affiliate=100307' to the form quote123.asp using the code below

Cheers
Graham

Since this is server-side code, you should be using the ServerXMLHTTP
object.
