Communicate with a webserver

[fielmann]

What I need is to communicate with a webserver:

1) start communication

2) enter username

3) enter password

4) check that login was correct

Thats all.

Can I make that without (embeded) IE?

I think I could realize that with TCP commands?

i suggest using _IE*

I need a plain and basis method.

Is it possible without _IE ?

I need a plain and basis method.

But, it's just so simple with _IE:

expandcollapse popup

Func goCheckID()
    ProgressOn("Checking credentials", "Checking credentials...")
    ProgressSet("5", "Connecting to server...")
    $ocheckID = _IECreate("http://KB.mysite.com/login.aspx", 0, 0, 1, 1)

    ;- grab a collection of form details
    $oFormID = _IEFormGetCollection($ocheckID, 0)

    ;- grab the login box
    $oQueryID = _IEFormElementGetCollection ($oFormID, 1)

    ;- set the value of login box
    _IEFormElementSetValue ($oQueryID, $username)

    ;- grab the password box
    $oQueryID = _IEFormElementGetCollection ($oFormID, 2)

    ;- set the value of the password box
    _IEFormElementSetValue ($oQueryID, $password)

    ;- grab the login button
    $loginID = _IEGetObjByName($ocheckID, "ucUserLogin:_ctl3")

    ;- click the login button
    ProgressSet("10", "Logging in....")
    _IEAction($loginID, "click")
    _IELoadWait($ocheckID)

        ;- evaluate the source
    $sHTMLid = _IEDocReadHTML($ocheckID)
    if StringInStr($sHTMLid, "Username and password not found!", 0) Then
        _IEQuit($ocheckID)
        progressoff()
        MsgBox(0, "error", "invalid username/password")
        call("goGetID")
    Else
        ProgressOff()
        _IEQuit($ocheckID)
    EndIf
    
EndFunc

hello?

anybody @ home?

I don't want to use it

Well,

That really wasn't my point. But it's okay if you don't understand that. My point was: It's simple, it's clean, and it's pretty darned quick. Why would you not want to use what's already there.

Sure, you can write one using TCP functions, but that would take forever.

You want to connect to a webserver, so in reality, you need some sort of 'browser' which can understand webserver messages; ie _IE functions. Just seems simple to me lol

I need a fast solution!

Direct TCP functions are faster than slow IE functions.

Any idea how to realize 1st TCP communication?

Best thing i can tell you; aside from programming everything like you want directly in TCP will be a long drawn out process, is to take a look at this post:
