I know you have already done a lot of work with TCPClient, but why use it to do http? I actually built a little http get script with tcpclient a while back, then rewrote it when I discovered it didn't have to be than hard... There are quite a few free http COM objects that are specifically built for http. There are some free ones floating around too.
http://www.coalesys.com/products/httpclient/features/ http://www.winscripter.com/wsh/tools/wsInetTools.asp The docs for the Coalesys component probably will answer your original question even if you continue to use TCPClient. http://www.coalesys.com/support/kb/document.asp?id=50 One more thing...if the web site you are planning hitting with your program is using host headers, you are going to need to do a http 1.1 request. jon ----- Original Message ----- From: "Greg Saunders" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Talk" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, December 13, 2001 1:39 PM Subject: Re: tcpclient and cfhttp -- how to post data? > OK, I'm learning about some of the pain referenced below ;-) > > I'm trying to perform an HTTP post operation, but I can't figure out how to > do it with TCPClient.
