using POST method . I have another application in VC++

IIS from the VC++ application and how do i access the
variables passed in the POST method ? What are the steps

You need to do either a CGI Application or an ISAPI filter.
{the following is for a CGI application}

1. HTML form to test the CGI (Test.htm)

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Testing VB CGI</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<FORM action="/cgi-bin/hello.exe" method="POST">
<INPUT TYPE="TEXT" NAME="Name"> Name<BR>
<INPUT TYPE="SUBMIT">
</FORM>
</BODY>
</HTML>

2. CGI Application:

HANDLE hStdIn,hStdOut;
hStdIn = stdin();

BYTE pReadBuffer[1024]; // Read from file in 1K chunks
BYTE pWriteBuffer[1024]; // Write to file in 1K chunks
BOOL bRead, bRet;
DWORD dwBytesRead,dwBytesWritten;

' Read client's input
bRead=ReadFile(hStdIn, pReadBuffer, sizeof(pBuffer),&dwBytesRead);

' Find '=' in the name/value pair and parse the buffer

Now if the variabiles were sent through:
- GET - you should have them in the pReadBuffer and you should ' Find '=' in the name/value pair and parse the buffer
- POST - you should have them added to the environment variabiles and you shoul read them with getenv like this:
char* myvar;
myvar= getenv("my variabile name&quot

or read them all parsing the _environ variabile which is

extern char **_environ;
.........
' Construct and send response to the client
pWriteBuffer = "HTTP/1.0 200 OK" + CrLf + "Content-Type: text/html";
hStdOut = stdout();
WriteFile hStdOut, pWriteBuffer, sizeof(pWriteBuffer) + 1, dwBytesWritten;

Hope this helps you, s-)

Blessed is he who in the name of justice and good will, shepards the week through the valley of darknees...
