CatchFish Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 (edited) Edited: removed an example of nonsense...My question is: how to obtain information from the WinHttpRequest.ResponseBody property in AutoIt script?I don't need ResponseText because it uses wrong code page on non-latin html. As a result, the returned content is unreadable. To correctly handle this, an instance of ADODB.Stream must be used to receive the array of ResponseBody. But it seems that there's something wrong between WinHttpReqest.ResponseBody & AutoIt, while everything's normal using WSH.Edited: removed some naggings...ps. similar code in VBScriptset winhttp = CreateObject("WinHttp.WinHttpRequest.5.1") winhttp.open "GET","http://www.pchome.com.tw/",false winhttp.send WScript.Echo winhttp.responseText 'contains unreadable kanzi characters set oStream = CreateObject("ADODB.Stream") oStream.Type=1 oStream.Mode=3 oStream.Open() oStream.Write(winhttp.responseBody) oStream.Position=0 oStream.Type=2 oStream.Charset="big5" result= oStream.ReadText() WScript.Echo result 'normal contentPlease see examples below...

DaleHohm Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 Instead of showing something "similar" in VBS, perhaps you could show "exactly" the same example implemented in VBS. That would allow focus on exactly where the differences in results lie and their cause. thanks, Dale Free Internet Tools: DebugBar, AutoIt IE Builder, HTTP UDF, MODIV2, IE Developer Toolbar, IEDocMon, Fiddler, HTML Validator, WGet, curl MSDN docs: InternetExplorer Object, Document Object, Overviews and Tutorials, DHTML Objects, DHTML Events, WinHttpRequest, XmlHttpRequest, Cross-Frame Scripting, Office object model Automate input type=file (Related) Alternative to _IECreateEmbedded? better: _IECreatePseudoEmbedded Better Better?

CatchFish Posted November 19, 2005 Author Share Posted November 19, 2005 The "exactly" the same example is here Dim $winhttp = ObjCreate("WinHttp.WinHttpRequest.5.1") $winhttp.open("GET","http://www.pchome.com.tw/",false) $winhttp.send ConsoleWrite($winhttp.responseText & @LF) ;contains unreadable kanzi characters Dim $oStream = ObjCreate("ADODB.Stream") $oStream.Type=1 $oStream.Mode=3 $oStream.Open() $oStream.Write($winhttp.responseBody) ;here occurs a COM error, and script exits $oStream.Position=0 $oStream.Type=2 $oStream.Charset="big5" $result= $oStream.ReadText() ConsoleWrite($result & @LF) The COM error occurs because there's SOMETHING wrong with $winhttp.responseBody in AutoIt. Let's see another example. Here's the code in vb script: set winhttp = CreateObject("WinHttp.WinHttpRequest.5.1") winhttp.open "GET","http://www.pchome.com.tw/",false winhttp.send WScript.Echo MidB(winhttp.responseBody, 2, 1) 'returns "h" of "<html>..." And code in AutoIt: Dim $winhttp = ObjCreate("WinHttp.WinHttpRequest.5.1") $winhttp.open("GET","http://www.pchome.com.tw/",false) $winhttp.send ConsoleWrite(StringMid($winhttp.responseBody, 2, 1) & @LF) ;here returns NOTHING Seems that AutoIt can't handle responseBody property well. And here's the documentation from MSDN for reference: The ResponseBody property retrieves the response entity body as an array of unsigned bytes. ...This array contains the raw data as received directly from the server.http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/wi...esponsebody.asp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaleHohm Posted November 19, 2005 Share Posted November 19, 2005 (edited) It actually fills the array... over 80,000 characters. If they are valid, perhaps someone knows a trick or two about converting them to displayable form in AutoIt? Here is modified code: Dim $winhttp = ObjCreate("WinHttp.WinHttpRequest.5.1") $winhttp.open("GET","http://www.pchome.com.tw/",false) $winhttp.send $rb = $winhttp.responseBody ConsoleWrite("Array: " & IsArray($rb) & ", ElemntCount: " & Ubound($rb) & @CR & "Value: <" & Hex(StringMid($rb, 2, 1), 8) & ">" & @CR) Here's the result: >Running: (3.1.1.87):C:\Program Files\AutoIt3\beta\autoit3.exe "C:\Test.au3" Array: 1, ElemntCount: 81582 Value: <00000000> Dale Edited November 19, 2005 by DaleHohm Free Internet Tools: DebugBar, AutoIt IE Builder, HTTP UDF, MODIV2, IE Developer Toolbar, IEDocMon, Fiddler, HTML Validator, WGet, curl MSDN docs: InternetExplorer Object, Document Object, Overviews and Tutorials, DHTML Objects, DHTML Events, WinHttpRequest, XmlHttpRequest, Cross-Frame Scripting, Office object model Automate input type=file (Related) Alternative to _IECreateEmbedded? better: _IECreatePseudoEmbedded Better Better?

Gordon J. Tyler Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 Has anyone found the solution to this problem? When I use ResponseBody with 3.2.2.0, I get zeros for IsArray() and Ubound() I tried BinaryString($winhttp.ResponseText) and that gets chopped off I was using InetGet() but that is not working with Windows Vista.
