How to send POST data with Winsock in VB

[sufyaaan]

I am trying to send POST data with Microsoft Winsock control but keep on receiving garbage from the webserver. Can anyone tell me the reason please?

What I send:

POST /search HTTP/1.1
Host: www.google.com
Content-Length: 30
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; Media Center PC 3.0; .NET CLR 1.0.3705; .NET CLR 1.1.4322)
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate
Connection: close

hl=en&q=sql+tutorial&btnG=Google+Search

What I get:

HTTP/1.1 501 Not Implemented
Connection: close
Content-Type: text/html
Server: GWS/2.1
Transfer-Encoding: chunked
Content-Encoding: gzip
Date: Mon, 23 Oct 2006 17:08:55 GMT
Cache-Control: private, x-gzip-ok=""

I used the same code as http://www.vbip.com/winsock/winsock_http_03_01.asp and tweaked it like the author said in http://www.vbip.com/forum/topic.asp?id=4

But it is not working as said.

I think a simple get request should work just follow the get example mentioned there.

Also take a look at the winsock sample by visualad in the codebank section

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=sql**tutorial&btnG=Google+Search&meta=

is a sample get request btw

Is there a sample code available anywhere which shows how to use Winsock to send POST data?
