Programming "Method Post" by michael_m91 on 10-03-2004 at 04:00 AM

How do I program (In VB 6.0) to submit data to a website using Method="Post"?

I'm very confused but wan't to try none the less.

RE: Programming "Method Post" by matty on 10-03-2004 at 04:03 AM

Well you could setup the page to read data and compare it...

index.php?text=this is my text

code:
<?
echo $text;
?>

I think you can do this using the WinHTTP library but it would be easier to use a Website Control to just navigate a hidden browser on your form to that page with the text.

I THINK its WebBrowser1.Document['textbox'] = "' I THINK, now I cant remember exactly, but its the document part of the object.

It doesnt work, i get "Object Variable or width variable not set"

I had this line of code:
code:
MsgBox WebBrowser1.Document("username")
i did msgbox for debuging

EDIT

now i typed

code:
MsgBox WebBrowser1.Document = "username"

it says "FALSE"

code:
Private Sub Web1_DocumentComplete(ByVal pDisp As Object, URL
As Variant)
     If (pDisp Is Web1.object) Then
         While Web1.Busy
             DoEvents
         Wend
         If URL = "https://gmail.google.com/" Then
             If InStr(Web1.Document.documentElement.outerHTML, "A
Google approach to email.") <> 0 Then
                 Web1.Document.frames(0).Document.All("Email").Value =
"<Your Email>"
                 Web1.Document.frames(0).Document.All("Passwd").Value
= "<Your Pasword>"
                 Web1.Document.frames(0).Document.All("null").Click
             End If
     End If
     Exit Sub
End Sub

Here is how to log-in at the gmail page for example.

WTF? You don't need to use POST for that. In fact, I started converting the script to pure GET.

BTW, please don't use scripts/programs to access the board in ways you weren't meant to. I'll just ban you. :p

Instead of submitting the search with a POST-method form, just open that URL! You can edit it however you want, and opening it will show you the search results. :-/

W/E I have a slightly more complicated Idea. You see i need a smaller window and no header and footer stuff the website adds. And I just need to know how to do what NoName did but for the forum.
RE: Programming "Method Post" by WDZ on 10-05-2004 at 02:42 AM

What I said about the form would still apply though... it's unnecessary and extra work to use the HTTP POST method.

I don't think you understand what you're trying to do. :p
