Automating an upload (to a website)

[nf67]

Hi all,

I've been using a service called Drop.io for some time now, and was wondering if it would be possible to automate the process of uploading files on my "drop".

A drop is, in this case, an online storage medium in the cloud where you can drop things like files and notes.

Here's an example of a drop I've made for this topic: http://drop.io/demo4autoit

I've never used AutoIt's online functions before, so any clues of where to start would greatly be appreciated.

Thanks

P.S: Like the new forum style, it's nice.

I am not totally sure, but I believe it is possible to upload to a website. I think you have to use TCP Protocol. You probably connect to the server and send the information. Look at the source code for the site and replicate whatever the upload button on the website does.

Yes indeed I figured I should maybe check where the file goes, checking a simplified upload page's source at the moment.

Edit: I think this is the most relevant code I can find :-/
