    Exclamation Interfacing VB with CGI scripts

    Hi Guys,

    I am looking for a way to send messages to a web server running CGI/ PERL scripts.

    instead of using my web browser to go to the website and enter my information.

    I would like to do this in VB6.0

    Is there a way to do this?
    Example:

    <html>
    using the form post method >
    <html>
    <form action="cgi-bin/post.cgi" method="post">
    <input name="phonenumber" type="text" size=10>
    <input name="sms" type="text" size=30>

    </form>
    </HTML>

    click on the submit button and info is posted to the server.

    I am sure using Winsock this can be achieved.

    please let me know your findings.

    Thanks in advance.

    For the POST HTTP verb, you set the Content-length HTTP header to the size of the data you're going to send, then put the same name/value string you'd add to the URL for a GET verb after the double CRLF that ends the HTTP headers. There's RFCs that'll explain this better than I can.

    Get these: Mozilla Opera OpenBSD
    I have books for sale: "MCSD in a Nutshell" and "VB Distributed Exam Cram" - PM me for details. Will also trade for a decent ATX Pentium 2 MB/CPU/RAM combo.

    Tutorial?

    Hmm..where can I get these RFCs?
    Or, where can I get a "Beginners Tutorial" on how to do this kind of stuff? I'm really interested in learning this so if you know of a good tutorial please let me know.
    And I, for one, welcome our new insect overlords. I'd like to remind them as a trusted TV personality, I can be helpful in rounding up others to toil in their underground sugar caves.
