From: Shucheng Liu on 2 Mar 2010 03:02 We have a content which need to send out by HTTP request, but it is too big for HTTP GET method, Is it possible to send request by HTTP POST method in VBS script? and how?
From: Shucheng Liu on 2 Mar 2010 03:57 Seems there are some ActiveX can serve this, such as http://www.example-code.c...ipt/http_post_form.asp But can we send request via HTTP POST method by VBS script, without any additional ActiveX?

Unless you want to resort to automating IE, then the answer is no. There are no methods to post http requests built into vbscript. My choice would be to use an xmlhttprequest object that is supplied by the msxml dll that by now should be installed on every Windows pc. http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&safe=active&q=http+post+vbscript&btnG=Search There are other dlls available, such as the one you found -- HTH, Bob Barrows

Or just use the DOM? -- Evertjan. The Netherlands. (Please change the x'es to dots in my emailaddress) |
