Post Request Help

[Ic3c0ld]

But can anyone point me in the right direction for the syntax on sending a HTML Post Request. That usually orignates fro ma form. it has a couple input boxes and am not sure how to accomplish this directly from AutoIT. Any help would be greatly appreciated

[DaleHohm]

The Navigate and Navigate2 methods of the InternetExplorer.Application opject allow you to pass this data (documentation at msdn.microsoft.com).

Another common way to do it is to write out your own HTML on the fly, fill the form and submit it. This can be done with IE.au3 and can even be done with an invisible window.

Which In your opinion will be more efficient?

[DaleHohm]

That depends on what you mean by "efficient". For me, that means how could I get results the quickest -- and for me that would be the later option. If you mean what would take the fewest CPU cycles to accomplish, then that would probably be the former (and perhaps some other options we haven't discussed).

To use the later, you can use IE.au3 -- here's a sketch of the code required...

#include <IE.au3>
$oIE = _IECreate()
$sHTML = "<form name=foo method=post action=http://bar.com/bar.htm>"
$sHTML = $sHTML & "...text fields...  ...buttons...</form>"
_IEBodyWriteHTML($oIE, $sHTML)
$oForm = _IEFormGetObjByName($oIE, "foo")

then get object references to the form elements(_IEFormElementGetObjByName), then set the values(_IEFormElementSetValue), then submit the form (_IEFormSubmit).

Thanks for the input but I went with just going to the site and doing everything. Its really slow diong that but it has a lot shit to mess with. Now just need to figure out how to block images in iexplore.

[Valuater]

can you tell us the name of the site you want to send info to??

Its a myspace script i am recoding.

Ya it will definatley have to have the images blocked and javascript and java. I am not sure how to do this though in IExplore. Javascript gone would disable soem of their adds because they are insterted with javascript or java. Any suggestions?

[Valuater]

try to explain a little... is this the idea

you have already created the replacement html and you want to post it with autoit to your myspace webpage.... or ?

[Ic3c0ld]

Oh no its a friend adder. It goes and adds massive amounts of friends to your list. Right now myspace well who am I kidding myspace has always been a bandwidth whore and the javascript ads and tons of images and poorly designed layout are getting in the way of my dial up load times to actually send the post request. I have the sleep time perfect for if their wree no images if i add more time it will be to long to wait for one page. Anything else?

[DaleHohm]

If the images comes from a predictable source, you could use a trick of editing your host file (c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts) and redefine the host to point to localhost with entries like this:

127.0.0.1 ad.doubleclick.net

Do correct me if I am wrong on this but aren't images deleted after the page is complete so therefore your not doing anything except for deleting the picture for easier viewing. Using CSS isn't the right way for accomplishing this task if you want speed by reducing the downloading of images (all same goes for Audio and Flash). I am unsure how to accomplish this task directly with IE.au3 but you can use INet.au3 and download the page and edit the file by taking out the given things. Else you could use HTTP.au3 and edit your own head to give you it in Accept: *.html *.htm with withdrawal from .img or any other flag you want banned.

However the host file option does work but then it carries it over to any site (don't know if you want this or not)

I found a good starter for you one per page or site or anything you would want to block on images it can be found at http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.ph...19370&st=30
