send post request to a webpage

[winterslam]

What's the "fastest" way to send a HTTP POST request to a webpage?


I know the winsock method. But I believe it is kinda slow.

not sure about post, but a get request works pretty well and fast

Private Declare Function ShellExecute Lib "shell32.dll" Alias "ShellExecuteA" (ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal lpOperation As String, ByVal lpFile As String, ByVal lpParameters As String, ByVal lpDirectory As String, ByVal nShowCmd As Long) As Long

Dim strURL As String

strURL = "https://www.scan.com/Tracks.php?uname=" & cboUsername.SelectedItem.key & "&dir=" & cboDirectory.SelectedItem.key

ShellExecute 0, "open", strURL, vbNullString, vbNullString, SW_MAXIMIZE

basically, what u r doing is opening the webbrowser to send GET request


that's not what I want...

The speed issue is probably connection related and out of your hands.
