GET method form manipulation 1

[mickjbud]

Hi all

I am trying to process a form using the GET method. My scenario is this. I have a page on a server that is expecting a GET request, I cannot change this. I have a form that I want to get values from to create a url i.e

http://thissite.com/dosomething.aspx?value1=value1&value2=value2

etc... However when I try to do this with the GET method I am coming up against a brick wall.

I need to use the CFHTTP method because I want the same form page to reload and call the url but do not konw how to pass the form variables to the CFHTTP part.

I can do this using the POST method however the page on the receiving server is expecting GET.

I usually code in PHP, ASP.net but have never really looked at CF.

Any help is really appreciated

TIA

I'm sorry, I'm not understanding your question.

you want to submit a form to a .net form handler?

Why doesn't the following work for you?

<form method = "get" action = "[URL unfurl="true"]http://thissite.com/dosomething.aspx">[/URL]
<input type = "text" name = "value1" /><br />
<input type = "text" name = "value2" />
</form>

Thanks for your reply.

I am wanting to send the data through the cfhttp request and not as a page request.

I can post using the <cfhttp url="http...." method = "post"
result="result">
<cfhttparam type="post" value = "#form.user#">

however I want to use the GET method and I am unable to capture the form info. Like I said I have not coded in CF before but code in PHP and .NET so web forms are not new to me.

<cfhttp url = "

http://...?#cgi.queryString#"

...> no good?

<cfhttparam type="post" value = "#form.user#">

If you prefer using cfhttpparam, "post" is not a valid type Use type="URL" instead (along with the parameter "name").

Thanks all

Got it working just after my last post by doing what cfSearching proposed.

Thanks again.
