Try it without the double-quotes:
Buf := 'FirstName=Gary&Submit=Submit';
Note that you do not need the "Submit" part unless your script is
expressly looking for it.
// Have Also tried the below but it does not work either
//Buf := 'type="text" id="FirstName" FirstName="Gary" type="submit"
name="submit"';
That won't work; the browser distills the necessary information from the
HTML form automatically to build the request payload. You can do it
manually too like this:
- The "name" attribute of each field is extracted as its Key.
- The "value" attribute of each field is extracted as its Value.
- Each Key and Value string is UrlEncoded individually (separately) and
then concatenated together in the format: Key=Value.
- All Key=Value pairs are concatenated together, separated by an
ampersand sign.
So if your form is:
<input type="text" name="FirstName" />
<input type="hidden" name="Foo" value="Bar" />
<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit" />
then your payload will be:
FirstName=XXXX&Foo=Bar&Submit=Submit
where "XXXX" represents whatever the user typed in the FirstName field.
