Yer cheers, already got that far form your examples in the tcpclient2 archive (in about 30 secs)
Those RFC's are a real pain however. All I want to do is a HTTP form POST of s single prenamed form field. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 26 October 2001 15:48 To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: CFHTTP Replacement At 09:28 AM 10/26/2001 +0100, you wrote: >Anyone got any resources on building up HTTP requests ? There are a couple RFC's that describe http 1.0 and http 1.1. http 1.0 is the easiest. There are three "verbs" used: GET, POST and HEAD. Can you guess what they do from simply from using html forms? :) Well, you probably can. The POST format is a rather tangled businesses to decode, but no more than raw mime. The HEAD verb returns only the header information about a page but doesn't send the page itself. If you wanted to grab the contact page from HOF using http 1.0 you'd send the command sequence: <cfset obj.SendRN("GET /hof/body/Contact.cfm HTTP/1.0")> <cfset obj.SendRN("")> . after you've opened a connection to houseoffusion.com:80 of course. And you'd get back the complete page just as the server sends it with all the headers at the top, then the page contents after a cr/lf blank line. That's the basics. If it's a virtual host (many web sites using only one ip) you'd have to use http 1.1 to tell it which website you're interested in: <cfset obj.SendRN("GET /index.html HTTP/1.1")> <cfset obj.SendRN("host: www.houseoffusion.com")> <cfset obj.SendRN("")> That should be enough to get you started. --min ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.
