Thanks to everyone who responded on this. I'm still stumped, but I think
it's just a simple syntax question related to TCPClient. I actually wasn't
trying for multiple encodings in a single form post -- sorry for the confusion.
I simply want to post form data like this:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]&Name=Osama&Action=Submit
But I still can't figure out the TCPClient syntax. Here's what I have so far:
><cfset data = "[EMAIL PROTECTED]&Name=Osama&Action=Submit">
><cfset obj.SendRN("POST /myTest.cfm HTTP/1.0")>
><cfset obj.SendRN("Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded")>
><cfset obj.SendRN("Content-Length: #len(data)#")>
><cfset obj.SendRN("")>
But I'm not sure what to do with the data. I suspect something like this:
><cfset obj.SendRN("RequestBody: #data#")>
but that doesn't work, and I'm not sure what other syntax to try.
The docs at www.coalesys.com (thanks Jon) showed Content-type &
Content-length, but I couldn't figure out how to map their RequestBody into
TCPClient.
Dave, I tried looking at a raw HTTP post with Microsoft's Web Application
Stress Tool (which I happened to have handy), but it didn't show the actual
form data:
>POST /myTest.cfm
>Accept: image/gif, image/x-xbitmap, image/jpeg, image/pjpeg,
>application/vnd.ms-powerpoint, application/vnd.ms-excel,
>application/msword, */*
>Accept-Language: en-us,ja;q=0.5
>Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
>User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows NT 5.0)
>Host: laptop.mgmtcourses.cognitivearts.com
>Content-Length: 61
>Pragma: no-cache
>Cookie: CFID=732; CFTOKEN=36216386
Maybe this is suppressing form data somehow? I'll try Stretch later...
