Hello,
Working on dotnet platform.
I want to know how can I use the objects provided in System.net to download the page using the post method? WebClient can send a querystring to a page but dont know how to use the POst method for getting it. Tried with the WebClient.UploadData() & i9t can download a page but cant send the postdata.
Anyone knows where I am wrong? help please!
According to me you need to use the "|" character to delimiter the fields for POST...
Dim PostData As Byte() = ASCIIEncoding.GetBytes("Account=" & Account &
"Password=" & Password)
should be:
Dim PostData As Byte() = ASCIIEncoding.GetBytes("Account=" & Account &
"|Password=" & Password & "|")
Hope this helps
For post data to PHP in C# I use this method:
Quote:
public string Post(string url, string data) {
string vystup = null;
try
{
//Our postvars
byte[] buffer = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(data);
//Initialisation, we use localhost, change if appliable
HttpWebRequest WebReq = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(url);
//Our method is post, otherwise the buffer (postvars) would be useless
WebReq.Method = "POST";
//We use form contentType, for the postvars.
WebReq.ContentType = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded";
//The length of the buffer (postvars) is used as contentlength.
WebReq.ContentLength = buffer.Length;
//We open a stream for writing the postvars
Stream PostData = WebReq.GetRequestStream();
//Now we write, and afterwards, we close. Closing is always important!
PostData.Write(buffer, 0, buffer.Length);
PostData.Close();
//Get the response handle, we have no true response yet!
HttpWebResponse WebResp = (HttpWebResponse)WebReq.GetResponse();
//Let's show some information about the response
Console.WriteLine(WebResp.StatusCode);
Console.WriteLine(WebResp.Server);
//Now, we read the response (the string), and output it.
Stream Answer = WebResp.GetResponseStream();
StreamReader _Answer = new StreamReader(Answer);
vystup = _Answer.ReadToEnd();
//Congratulations, you just requested your first POST page, you
//can now start logging into most login forms, with your application
//Or other examples.
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
MessageBox.Show(ex.Message);
}
return vystup.Trim()+"\n";
}
