Is is possible and if so would anyone have a brief example of submitting data from an ASP page to another server via HTTP, using a POST method. Essentially duplicating an HTML FORM.
Further details, if availalbe would be the use of username/password (basic) authentication and the HTTP connection is actually and HTTPS (SSL) connection.
I created a form for users to sign up for a newsletter our site sends out. The thing is we use a third party that keeps a db of our subscribers and sends the email for us. The signup resides on our site and when the user submits they get poasted to this third party site and then click through and get refreshed to our site again.
We want change that process and keep the user on our site so now thier values need to get posted to the 3rd party behind the scenes. Code:
i'm tring to send post data using
set objSrvHTTP = Server.CreateObject ("WinHTTP.WinHTTPRequest.5.1")
....
objSrvHTTP.send xmlstring
but the transfer rate is very low(4 min per MB on LAN)..
some ideas?

i'm trying to find out how to post a file to a URL, using ASP, but I can't seem to track it down.
View Replies View RelatedI need to redirect to another web page, but that redirect will include the
submission of form data. So, unlike ServerXMLHTTP which stays on the
originating web page, I need the script to redirect to the page that I'm
submitting the POST data to (without pressing a submit button).
Any suggestions?
if i use the example code belpw ; which ip address will the post appear to come from. the ipaddress of the browser or the webserver?

A site I'm working on has a php form with an asp form processor redirecting to a php thankyou page.
I need a way to output some of the form fields entries in the thankyou page.
Here's my ASP and vbscript: Code:
i've got this code...
Dim oOriginalPO, oXMLHTTP, strFileName, strURL
strURL = "url that is required"
strFileName = sXML
Set oOriginalPO = CreateObject("MSXML2.DOMDocument")
Set oXMLHTTP = CreateObject("MSXML2.XMLHTTP")
oOriginalPO.async = False
oOriginalPO.load strFileName 'name of file containing cXML data
oXMLHTTP.open "POST", strURL, False 'strURL is our URL you post to
oXMLHTTP.send oOriginalPO
So on the assumption that the sXML variable has correct information inside it to send out, can anybody see why perhaps this code isn't working properly?
How do you append parameters to SQL string?

This is the scenario: I am making a wizard composed of several steps, each
step being a form with the post method. The first steps may be completed
whether the user is logged on to the website or not. But from a certain step
on the user must be logged on to complete the wizard. What I do is post the
data gathered so far to the logon page; the logon page is essentially an ASP
page with an HTML logon form that posts to itself. Once the user logs on he
is taken again to the wizard, to the step where he left off.
Right now I am using the HTML form / approach on the
logon page: after the user is authenticated, the asp page builds a form with
the "saved" data, pointing to the next step of the wizard, and uses the
onLoad event of the body tag to submit the form. And this does what I
intended.
But I believe there must be a more elegant way to do this, and I suspect it
involves setting headers directly using Response.AddHeader but I don't know
how to do it. Am I right? If so, how to do it?
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. Code:
Let's say if I want to send a http "Post" request to a url, and check the http status code later. How should I write the code? I have found example to use WinHttp to send "Get" request and check the http status code:
======
Set objWinHttp = CreateObject("WinHttp.WinHttpRequest.5")
objWinHttp.Open "GET", strURL
objWinHttp.Send
If objWinHttp.Status <> 200 Then
...
End If
======
How should I write the code if I need to use "POST" to send data in a form, and to check the http status code later?
I have a basic form that POSTs data to a web server. The web server then replys with a string response. It goes something like this:
<FORM METHOD=POST ACTION="https://www.mywebserver.com/trans.dll">
<INPUT TYPE=HIDDEN NAME="x_Field1" VALUE="1">
<INPUT TYPE=HIDDEN NAME="x_Field2" VALUE="True">
<INPUT TYPE=HIDDEN NAME="x_Login" VALUE="MyUser">
<INPUT TYPE=SUBMIT VALUE="Click here To Submit">
</FORM>
The response is just a comma separated values string like:
1,0,2,3,0,Transaction Success,Etc
Once I hit the submit button the server returns a string response. I do not want the user to ever see the response, but need the response string to create my own page. How do I retreive that string and use it??
I have an app that gets a file from a web server. An ASP page is passed authenitication data (username, password) and a filename. The file is read and then output by the ASP page so the only response is the file I am requesting. The file I want to receive is XML with the major portion of it being a Base64-encoded block.
I use the Indy component TidHTTP to get the file:
HTTPClient.Request.ContentType := 'text/html';
HTTPClient.Request.CacheControl := 'no-cache' ;
Response.Text := HTTPClient.Get (TIdURI.URLEncode (URL)) ;
Problem is that more often than not, the returned file contains errors. In a 200k file, 2 or 3 characters are often munged. Occasionally I manage to receive the file without errors. Code:
Is there any limitation on a ASP (or http) page size (in bytes), i.e. what is max size(in bytes) a ASP page can hold? I seems to know that there was a limit of 64K, but that was long, long time ago, probably more than ten years.

I have 2 sites on my Windows Server 2003/ISA/IIS machine. One of the sites works fine and has 'default.htm' for the default document. The other site returns an 'HTTP error
404' and has a 'default.asp' for the default document. Aside from that they appear to be configured the same.
I am looking to create some sort of function that on the click of a submit button, a new HTML page will be created. Is this a simple task or something that I should research?
View Replies View RelatedI have problems communicating with ASP pages so I am trying to help the developer of
the page. The problem is with posting chunked data. According to HTTP 1.1 Content-Length header is missing so Request.TotalBytes is -1.
The only idea I have is that we should use Request.ReadBinary till end of the stream is reached?
Has anybody managed to get ASP working with chunked data properly?
I have a page with 4 submit buttons. How can I make 1 of these buttons spawn a new page AND use the data posted from the orginal page?
View Replies View RelatedWe are trying to get an .asp page to post to an access
database. the page is viewable, and the form boxes can be
filled in. Upon submission of the data a confirmation
page is then to show.
What happens is the data is inserted into the page, but
upon submission an HTTP 500 Internal server error appears.
if we uncheck show friendly http errors in IE there is
still no more info to go on.
Here is the situation:
1. User fills in form and hits submit
2. Some processing is done with the posted data using ASP
3. The posted form variables now need to be submitted to another script which only receives POSTed data.
How do I send the posted data to another script? I can't run step 2 on the next script as its validation script and I'm going across two servers.
I have an VBScript/ASP page that lists bikes that are checked out. For each checked out bike, there is a button to check it back in to the system.
Problem is, that when a bike is checked in, it is properly removed from check out in the database but will still appear in the recordset when the checked out bikes are re-listed.
Recordsets should be destroyed after a page is rendered -- correct? I've tried multiple methods of forcing a refresh to no avail.
I included the following (and multiple incarnations of it) at the top of the ASP page just below the language declaration. Code:
I created listener for POST message from client as a simple web page and process that message in Page_Load method. If I use url for posting message to my listener with explicit web page name http://myserver/formhandler/listener.aspx it works without error.
But my clients will need to post message using url without mentioning page name like this http://myserver/formhandler. In IIS for formhandler virtual directory I set default document as listener.aspx. And now my issue starts: server responds every time with error 405 Method not allowed. I set properly mapping for aspx extension in configuration to allow POST method.
I have an ASP page that sits and listens for responses sent to it by a third party. The third party simply sends a plain text delimited response in the body of the http message.
Eg: Account=2,User=92663,Pass=OK,Action=5
What I can't figure out on my listening page, is how to capture the body of the message being posted to it, so that i can then manipulate the delimited string, and split it up into the variables for later use.
How do i get access to the body of the http page? I thought perhaps using WinHTTP, but it looks like it only works when your page goes looking for a web page, and not when a page is being submitted to it, like in this case.
am using pws on win 98 and when i try to excute any asp page i got the following error

Is there a way to 'force' a submit on a form with out actually allowing the
user to press a button ? For example...
step1: A from is filled out by a user, then they click the submit button.
step2: The form is 'post'ed to an ASP page which writes the values to a
database. So far No problems. But..
step3: Now I want to 'post' these values again to another page without any
user interaction.
My ideas were:
1) I know you can get the form values from Request.Form("myVar"), so I
thought of making a 'dummy' form and setting the 'values' of the form
variables to these Request.Form("myVar") valiables, but I don't know how to
'submit' them to another page again.
2) Is there some type of 'submit' command in ASP?
I have a password-protected area on my site. I'm not using any server
authentication methods: Instead I prompt the user for a username and
password using an HTML form and check these against a database of
registered users.
I was thinking that this page should be returning a HTTP status code of
"401 Unauthorized" instead of its current "200 OK". My reasoning being
that this would let search engines know what's going on when they
request a protected page and get redirected to the "Access Denied"
page.
I experimented with adding response.status = "401 Unauthorized" to the
"denied" page, but now it displays a (Windows/IE) username & password
prompt instead. The HTTP sniffer shows that the www-authenticate field
is set to "Basic".
My question: How can I indicate to the search engines that the page it
is requesting requires authentication, yet have it not display the
login/password dialog box?
