How to simulate POST to a webserver?

[fielmann]

Hello autoit-friends!

I'd like to send the folowing POST command to my webserver:

--------------------------------------------

POST /login.php?sid=d620b0ae8c1e8ac0f1155b7dddf054a1 HTTP/1.1

Host: www.mywebserver.com

User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; de; rv:1.8.1.13) Gecko/20080311 Firefox/2.0.0.13

Accept: text/xml,application/xml,application/xhtml+xml,text/html;q=0.9,text/plain;q=0.8,image/png,*/*;q=0.5

Accept-Language: de-de,de;q=0.8,en-us;q=0.5,en;q=0.3

Accept-Encoding: gzip,deflate

Accept-Charset: ISO-8859-1,utf-8;q=0.7,*;q=0.7

Keep-Alive: 300

Connection: keep-alive

Referer: http://www.mywebserver.com/

Cookie: Logindata=myuser%B41; PHPSESSID=d620b0ae8c1e8ac0f1155b7dddf054a1

Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded

Content-Length: 113

PHPSESSID=d620b0ae8c1e8ac0f1155b7dddf054a1&login_name=myuser&login_password=12345&Submit=enter+webserver

--------------------------------------------

I've put the hole content of the POST into the variable $command and then I send it with TCPSend($socket, $command).

It does not work!

Does anybody where the problem is?

I did this as a test, this is just some random site I found (http://www.snee.com/xml/crud/posttest.html). You will see that the html returned to the console is the exact same thing you will see in the browser.

$oMyError = ObjEvent("AutoIt.Error","MyErrFunc")

$oHTTP = ObjCreate("winhttp.winhttprequest.5.1")
$oHTTP.Open("POST", "http://www.snee.com/xml/crud/posttest.cgi")
$oHTTP.SetRequestHeader("Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded")
$oHTTP.Send("fname=john&lname=smith")
ConsoleWrite($oHTTP.ResponseText & @CRLF)

Func MyErrFunc()
   $HexNumber=hex($oMyError.number,8)
   Msgbox(0,"","We intercepted a COM Error !" & @CRLF & _
                "Number is: " & $HexNumber & @CRLF & _
                "Windescription is: " & $oMyError.windescription )

   SetError(1)
Endfunc

Looks good at the first look!

I've startet the script, but I can't see anything ?!?

Where or how can I see the result of ConsoleWrite ?

I've checked the autoit helpfile for consolewrite:

Local $var = "Test"

ConsoleWrite("var=" & $var & @CRLF)

; Running this in a text editor which can trap console output should produce "var=Test"

Which editor supports this feature ?

SciTE. It's included with AutoIt.

Start -> Programs -> AutoIt v3 -> SciTE Script Editor

If you don't want to use ConsoleWrite() in this case you can use FileWrite("new.html", $oHTTP.ResponseText) to create an actual html file of the result page.

Scite is OK, but how to catch ConsoleWrite-Output with it ?

The console is shown when you run your script. Like I said, FileWrite() and FileWriteLine() will output to a file.
