httpRequest.Open "POST", "www.example.com/handle.asp", False
httpRequest.setRequestHeader "Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"
httpRequest.send data
postResponse = httpRequest.response
How do i handle the post of the above code. in handle.asp. In handle i want to take the data being sent and add to it and then send something back to the calling page?
@Uzi: Here's an example --
somefile.asp calling handle.asp which is the processing script:
Option Explicit
Dim data, httpRequest, postResponse
data = "var1=somevalue"
data = data & "&var2=someothervalue"
data = data & "&var3=someothervalue"
Set httpRequest = Server.CreateObject("MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP")
httpRequest.Open "POST", "http://www.example.com/handle.asp", False
httpRequest.SetRequestHeader "Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"
httpRequest.Send data
postResponse = httpRequest.ResponseText
Response.Write postResponse ' or do something else with it
Example of handle.asp:
Option Explicit
Dim var1, var2, var3
var1 = Request.Form("var1")
var2 = Request.Form("var2")
var3 = Request.Form("var3")
' Silly example of a condition / test '
If var1 = "somecondition" Then
var1 = var1 & " - extra text"
End If
' .. More processing of the other variables .. '
' Processing / validation done... '
Response.Write var1 & vbCrLf
Response.Write var2 & vbCrLf
Response.Write var3 & vbCrLf
Exactly as you would handle the posted data usually in ASP by using Request.Form("parameter") to read out POSTed values and do whatever you want with them.
You just need to ensure to return the data from the handling script in a format easily decodable/usable by the script that makes the POST request.
