How can I pass variables to a script using VDSIPP's HTTP POST?

I tried this:

There appears to be a problem with the version of Indy that is used with the vdsipp, the newer version of Indy has fixed this. I checked the versions of Indy in Delphi to make sure the older version was causing the problem and not the vdsipp. It seems even though it's supposed to call the POST method it's really just doing a GET.

It will take quite some type to convert all of the vdsipp over to the newer version of Indy though so you'll have to be patient Sad

Prakash, is that Indy component open source? If so, can you please tell me a URL where I can download it? I want to try to make a TCP connection with VDS itself by using the (Windows?) APIs. Smile

Oops...

Looks a bit too complicated for me... I can't even find the source... Laughing

This seems to be the link to the source of the latest version:

You might also want to check out Terry Reese's Winsock wrapper at:

I don't have any examples for VDS but it should be fairly easy.

Thanks SnarlingSheep for the link. It looks like a very simple one as one can see the VB/ibasic examples. I am ignorant about Winsock though Sad

The http post method in the vdsipp does work however the underlying Indy 8 components seem not to POST correctly with some servers. It appears it attempts to wait for a return code of 100 before posting the http variables for post but with some servers it doesn't, thus it never sends the variables to post. This appears to have been fixed within Indy 9 though, again I'll have to update the vdsipp to use the newer version of Indy and this will take some time.

Thanks SnarlingSheep, that could be useful... Smile
