    VB6 WinHttp not working

    Code:
                    Dim HTTP
                    Set HTTP = CreateObject("WinHttp.WinHttpRequest.5.1")
                    HTTP.setTimeouts 50000, 50000, 50000, 50000
                    HTTP.Open "POST", sAddress, True
                    HTTP.setRequestHeader "Content-Type", "multipart/form-data; boundary=" & ""
                    'On Local Error Resume Next
                    HTTP.send Data
                    resp = HTTP.responseText
    We have an old VB6 Project that we are updating.

    After a client asked for changes, the above code stopped working

    On the HTTP.send, we get "the data necessary to complete this operation is not yet available"

    Been searching Google but can not find a good solution.

    This isn't the correct part of the forum for posting questions. It is used for posting sample code/projects that can be used as-is.

    Sorry for the mis-post.

    Thank you Olaf, I found the solution as you posted

    Issue solved.
    Below causes the issue, ASYNC=True
    Code:
    HTTP.Open "POST", sAddress, True
    This works! ASYNC=False
    Code:
    HTTP.Open "POST", sAddress, False

    The first mistake I see, is that you are using the HTTP-Object in async-mode (last Param in the Open-method).
    So don't expect to get anything useful returned in your last line:
    resp = HTTP.responseText
    shortly after sending the request (asynchronously).

    Though since you apparently get the error already when you call the Send-method,
    I'd suspect that what you've passed in your Data-Variable was not valid multipart/form-data
    content - or (more likely) 'Data' even being "completely emtpy yet".
