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

VB.NET

Dim success As Boolean = False

Dim http As New Chilkat.Http

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

Dim req As New Chilkat.HttpRequest
req.AddParam("company","example")
req.AddParam("ip","111.111.111.111")
req.AddParam("url","example.com")

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

Dim responseObj As Chilkat.HttpResponse = http.PostUrlEncoded(url,req)
If (http.LastMethodSuccess = False) Then
    Debug.WriteLine(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 Chilkat.HttpRequest
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 Chilkat.HttpResponse
success = http.HttpReq(url,req2,resp)
If (success = False) Then
    Debug.WriteLine(http.LastErrorText)
    Exit Sub
End If


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