winsock problems..

[softwareguy74]

Hi,

I'm having the following problem trying to post data to a cgi sript on the web.. It keeps giving me a "501: Not Implemented" error when trying to post via Winsock.. However, if I use the exact same data and paste it into the web browser directly, it goes through.. Any ideas?

Thanks,

Dan

Can you post the code that posts via Winsock?

Private Sub Submit(Data As String)
    Dim sListing As String

    '-- construct HTTP request
    sListing = "POST /blablapath/script.cgi HTTP/1.0" & vbCrLf
    sListing = sListing & "Accept: text/plain" & vbCrLf
    sListing = sListing & "Content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" & vbCrLf
    sListing = sListing & "Content-length:" & Str(Len(Data)) & vbCrLf
    sListing = sListing & vbCrLf
    sListing = sListing & Data & vbCrLf & vbCrLf

    '-- send the request
    If Winsock1.State = sckClosed Then
        Connect
        Winsock1.SendData sListing
    Else
        Winsock1.SendData sListing
    End If
    
End Sub

What's really weird though it that on the same web site, using a different cgi script to post different data, it works.. Is it possible that the site can sense that it's coming via winsock as oppossed to a web browser and therefore are blocking my post?

Any help would be appreciated..
