Visual Basic 6.0 Requires Chilkat v11.0.0+

Transition from Http.PostUrlEncoded to Http.HttpReq

Provides instructions for replacing deprecated PostUrlEncoded method calls with HttpReq.

Sends the following raw HTTP request:

POST /echoPost.asp HTTP/1.1
Host: www.chilkatsoft.com
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
Content-Length: 50

company=example&ip=111.111.111.111&url=example.com

Visual Basic 6.0

Dim success As Long
success = 0

Dim http As New ChilkatHttp

Dim url As String
url = "https://www.chilkatsoft.com/echoPost.asp"

Dim req As New ChilkatHttpRequest
req.AddParam "company","example"
req.AddParam "ip","111.111.111.111"
req.AddParam "url","example.com"

'  ------------------------------------------------------------------------
'  The PostUrlEncoded method is deprecated:

Dim responseObj As ChilkatHttpResponse
Set responseObj = http.PostUrlEncoded(url,req)
If (http.LastMethodSuccess = 0) Then
    Debug.Print http.LastErrorText
    Exit Sub
End If

'  ...
'  ...

'  ------------------------------------------------------------------------
'  Do the equivalent using HttpReq.
'  Your application creates a new, empty HttpResponse object which is passed 
'  in the last argument and filled upon success.

Dim req2 As New ChilkatHttpRequest
req2.AddParam "company","example"
req2.AddParam "ip","111.111.111.111"
req2.AddParam "url","example.com"

req2.HttpVerb = "POST"
req2.ContentType = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"

Dim resp As New ChilkatHttpResponse
success = http.HttpReq(url,req2,resp)
If (success = 0) Then
    Debug.Print http.LastErrorText
    Exit Sub
End If

'  Results are contained in the HTTP response object...
