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 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 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).
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?
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.
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?
Why ASP's MS XML HTTP request object gets another page's HTML source without interpreting path differences. For example, if my page is:
www.test.asp/one/two/page1.asp
with XMLHTTP getting source code of page:
www.test.asp/one/page2.asp
and this latter page has a CSS with path ../include/css.css, it won't be used in page1.asp because path will stay as it is "../include/ css.css", not "../../include/css.css" as needed for page1.asp?
I have configured XP and IIS according to some security checklist on the internet. I restarted machine after I renamed and set pw for my admin account.
The IIS isn't working now. I get this:
HTTP 400 Bad Request Error The parameter is incorrect
In other words, The syntax of the request is badly formulated or is impossible to satisfy I scanned my system with SPYBOT, no spyware found.
I have been trying to figure out why I am getting this message.I have an application that is 20 different ASP pages that works in sequential order (step1, step2, step3...). After each step the app writes the entered text to a cookie. This feature is so that if there is a problem, we can still retrieve the data.
This Bad Request error has something to do with the cookie that is written to, because I can go all the way through the app to the last step (step20) and then it gives me a Bad Request. If I clear my cookies then it works fine, until step 20 again.
what may be going on here? I am guessing that it has to do with the size of the cookie, but I am unsure how I can accomplish this task allowing the entered data to be retrieved) without cookies.
Can someone give the snippet to send a post http request in order to send a soap request ? I have the complete http request but I don't know how to send it.
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'm trying to USPS Tracking info to my website. To do this I need to make a XML HTTP Request to the USPS server, then format and "print" the response back on our web site. The site uses ASP and we want to avoid using JavaScript. I found this simple script: Code:
I've been using Dreamweaver Ultra Dev to create a dynamic page and I've been unable to view the page in a browser once the file extension changes to .asp. If I try to open it (in a browser) outside of an editor then nothing happens.
If I try to open it inside an editor, like in DW then I get HTTP 400 Error. DW also has a feature to let you view live data, when I choose that, it gives me "Bad Request (Invalid HostName)" it also mentions: "An error occurred while requesting the document from the app server." I'm running IIS.
Let's say I want to use the msxml object to call a web page from within my script, and on the querystring or "in the header" of that request I want to include a dictionary object, such that the called .asp page can then request the object to it's script and use the dictionary object.
Has anyone seen anything that describes marshaling an object into an http request header?
Is it possible to have a form ON submit. Post data to an access data file at the same time send an email of the data submitted. I have a send mail asp script that will create the email and send it. I have a form that will create a record how are they performed together?
To put a screws in the mix. I am using Front page to create the connection between the form and the MDB file. My hands are tied in having to use Front Page.
I am working on multilingual web-application, and I have to be very sure about how the international characters are encoded and decoded in the client-server form requests. Code:
Having just "discovered" it myself, I thought I'd draw everyone's attention to the fact that the WinHTTP 5.x object (which is used behind the scenes by our good friend the ServerXMLHTTP object) can be used directly in scripts.
This is useful because the ServerXMLHTTP object encapsulates XML-related functionality which is unnecessary for performing most simple HTTP requests, and thus by using the WinHTTP object directly you achieve higher performance, scalability, and reduced memory consumption... AND WinHTTP offers quite a few features that ServerXMLHTTP does not expose - including the ability to specify a proxy (and an exclusion list) from within the script (or to acquire them from Internet Explorer's settings), IPv6 support, and HTTPS/SSL support!
How to get/set and send the HTTP Headers(user-defined) coming from another domain/site]
In one SMS gateway project i need a great and urgent help from u all. There,the Service Providers sending the data thru "HTTP Headers" (For ex.sms-Id,sms-source [user defined]).
So i need to get and parse the name value pairs, and need to respond/send the same way as coining the "HTTP Headers" (For ex. sms-Id,sms-destination,sms-msg [user defined]).
sending a variable in this way: temp.asp?num= <% = Var %> creates an error , although i can see in the url that the value is added (e.g temp.asp?num=3) is it because the method is post? what should i do so the variable will come throgh with no error!?
I have an asp page that posts to a third-party site. I need to send an e-mail from this page when the user submits the form but before it posts to the other site.
I'm working on a project that requires me to send an xml request. The problem is that the location I am querying needs to remain hidden so I can't use javascript otherwise they would just view the source and gain access to the database.
This database also has support for html requests, but it would require the username and password are sent in the url so again I would need to somehow make this request using asp so I can keep that hidden.
i already create a code to request all fields from a previous page form using the next function y separate the fields with the value of each one. Code:
I am developing site in asp where I need to call a url at every interval. Is there a way to automate this. I want to call the url every 15 or 30 mins.
Cureently I have written a asp script tp call it using
Set objWinHttp = Server.CreateObject("WinHttp.WinHttpRequest.5.1") objWinHttp.Open "GET",URL objWinHttp.Send ' Send it. strResponse3 = objWinHttp.ResponseText ' Get the response string from the object.
But it is not schedule..I can call it only when I rum the asp script. So is there any way I can schedule this url call for every 15/30 minutes.
Also forgot to mention : the site does not have that much traffic that I can add it in index page...there may be a user visiting the site in 5 hours time or within next 5 mins or for next 2 days there may be no visitor.
