Thread: Sending postdata to url

Hi

I want to send html form data to a URL with a C++ program. I've been trying to google something for the last 2 days, but found nothing. Maybe I'm a bad searcher. Could someone point me to the right direction by giving some links or advising on how to search?

Thanks

I got a good tutorial on just that on my site. You can get it here.

Very good tutorial, Queatrix.

However, I don't know how exactly should I send postdata.

Code:

char szPostData[ ] = "\0\0";
HttpSendRequest( hRequest, szNewHeader, strlen(szNewHeader),
                                szPostData, strlen(szPostData) );

What format should it be?

For example on this HTML form:

Code:

<form name="message" method="post" action="message.php">
<input name="subject" type="text">

Thanks again.

You have to know how the browser converts form data into a string, in this case szPostData should be:

Code:

char szPostData[ ] = "message=AAA&subject=BBB\0";

This is assuming "AAA" is what was 'typed' into the message edit box, and "BBB" is what was 'typed' in the subject edit line.

Oh, if it's as easy as sending the postdata from url, then thanks very much!
