how to use winsock.DLL

[pernia]

hi all.
i always have using winsock.ocx that installed by vb6 !
but currently a have to create one exe-file to send data without using winsock.ocx.
the only way i found is winsock.DLL ,but i don't understand how to use this DLL. however some samples i found in :
http://www.codeguru.com/vb/vb_intern...Winsockdll.htm
but that was not working too!

i have a sample link from this address:
aheads.net/lotus/ajax.php?uname=ghasem&[email protected]&serial=12&mobile=111111

By passing each new serial to the above link , you have to receive one new password!
any solution?
thanx all.

How is it not working ? Did it crash ? Did it do nothing ? What's wrong with it ?

Weather you use Winsock.OCX or Winsock.DLL you are still using Winsock. Winsock.OCX is a wrapper for Winsock.DLL minus some features to make it simpler to use. So, if you have to make EXE to send data without using Winsock then what kind of data are you talking about. There are APIs to send data.

of course you are right.
i just wanna use winsock.DLL Not OCX !
my problem is exactly about how to using winsock.dll !!!
how i should write my parameters to the URL and getting back the data as the result?

my goal is sending this parameters:
uname
mail
serial
mobile
by writing in the following URL i can send them:

aheads.net/lotus/ajax.php?uname=ghasem&[email protected]&serial=12&mobile=111111

and then i will have one data as the result in the winsock.ocx DataArrival procedure.
my code was this:

Private Sub Command_send__Click()
    Dim strHTTP As String
    
    

    If blnConnected Then Exit Sub
    
    
    Dim S As String
    
    S = "uname=" & Trim(txt_name.Text)
    S = S & "&email=" & Trim(txt_email.Text)
    S = S & "&serial=" & Trim(txt_serial.Text)
    S = S & "&mobile=" & ""
    ' configure Winsock1
    Winsock1.Protocol = sckTCPProtocol
    Winsock1.RemoteHost = "aheads.net"
    Winsock1.RemotePort = 80
    
    
    'I have using GET Method
    strHTTP = "GET /lotus/sock.php?" & S & " HTTP/1.0" & vbCrLf
    strHTTP = strHTTP & "Host:aheads.net" & vbCrLf & vbCrLf
 
    Winsock1.Connect
    
    ' wait for a connection
    Do While Not blnConnected
        DoEvents
    Loop
    
    ' send the HTTP request
    Winsock1.SendData strHTTP
End Sub    
Private Sub Winsock1_DataArrival(ByVal bytesTotal As Long)
    Dim strResponse As String

    Winsock1.GetData strResponse, vbString, bytesTotal
    Dim k
    k = Split(strResponse, vbCrLf)
    
    txt_pass.Text = k(UBound(k))
End Sub

i need to remove winsock.ocx
i must use winsock.dll

I'm ready to learn.
thanx

Here's a sample application using the DLL. I don't know if it even works or not but it does give you a good insight into using the DLL
