ReadURL PRG not sending POST data

[jennyflower]

Hi - Im trying to use a PRG called ReadURL which I found at

http://fox.wikis.com/wc.dll?Wiki~ReadUrl~VFP

Im using the one at the bottom which can do passwords and post data, unfortunately I cannot get it actually send any post data. Am I doing something wrong? I am calling the function using:

ReadURL( "

http://localhost/readstock.php",

.f., .f., .f., .f., .f., 'xmldata=' + z_xmltext)

My php page should take the post data and create file with the information. It will work if I tag z_xmltext as Get data, but as I am potentially sending through quite large amounts of data I will need to use Post.

Thanks,
Jenny

have you tried putting an ASSERT right before the line
*// Send request , and tracking through?

See if this works for you

lsURL = '[URL unfurl="true"]http://localhost/readstock.php'[/URL]
lsSendThis = 'SomeContent'

loHTTP = CREATEOBJECT("WinHttp.WinHttpRequest.5.1")	
loHTTP.Open("POST", lsURL, .F.)
loHTTP.SetCredentials('UserName', 'Password', 0)
loHTTP.SetRequestHeader("content-type", "application/x-[URL unfurl="true"]www-form-urlencoded")[/URL]	
loHTTP.Send(STRCONV(lsSendThis, 9))  && UTF encoding

if you decide to use the WinHttpRequest interface you may want to check out the documentation on it as it also supports setting timeout thresholds and certificates if that becomes an issue for you.

Good luck
