What I would like to know is how to obtain form input elements during an httpwebrequest?
[Code]...
Is it possible to obtain these input elements during an httpwebrequest without having to view the html code?
I understand the basics of httpwebrequest and I'm not looking for any answers on web browsers. My previous method was done using webbrowsers but because of the lack of speed I have transferred over to httpwebrequest to speed up the process.
I have an id of an element that I would like to grab and use in an httpwebrequest but not sure where I would start with that.
I have took a little research for the method to grab the html tag and input the textbox strings into the html page by using system.net.webclient and httpwebrequest, but I couldn't find the answer.o get the the method for system.net.webclient and httpwebrequest to grab the html page and input the strings into the php form?
View 4 RepliesI was doing cross-domain ajax calls from an HTML-only (no server programming) page, to a PHP backend on a different domain. I realized at one point that I couldn't do POST with cross-domain, so I figured I needed a local proxy. Unfortunately, PHP is not available on that domain so I have to resort to ASP.NET.So I built a very quick & dirty vb.net proxy... It works, except for one very important detail. If any of my form fields contain HTML, the data is not sent to PHP (or PHP doesn't receive it, I'm not sure). Actually, the $_POST variable exists, it's just empty all the time as soon as it contains what looks like html code, such as <p>. That same field, if it doesn't contain an HTML tag, will work fine and the data is passed on to the PHP page. [code]
Oh the PHP side, all I'm doing is $var = $_POST["htmldata"]; , and $var is always empty. I'd give an example of my PHP but I don't know that it's necerssary. $_POST["action"], for example, contains the correct action I'm expecting, so it's not the PHP code itself that's wrong.Well, if you encode the HTML so html entities are correctly passed on (not as <), it works!
I am trying to get source code from a webpage. Webbrowser control is giving me the required information that I am looking for. But I want to use httpwebrequest but its giving me different source than webbrowser documenttext.

Dim submit_data As String
temp2 = htmldoc.getElementById("FileBuilding")

and all variable like event_arg ,viewsource1,2,3 etc have proper data.
How would I generate a list of html element names from a website/document that is being displayed in WebBrowser1?
View 1 RepliesThe below code allows me to login to a site using HttpWebRequest however I can't login to the site [URL] (which is the one I want to login to). At the bottom of the code I write the source to a file and upon opening it simply shows the login page.
After looking at the source I believe the issue is caused by the form calling a javascript funciton to actually submit the form when the 'Login' button is clicked. Has anyone had this type of situation in the past and if so what was the solution to get the form to submit?

I can grab info from a website uing httpwebrequest but i don't know how to post to a form :/Ive always used a webbrowser for this but its a tad slow.Here is what i use with a webbrowser:
Dim DBSplit() As String = Split(TextBox5.Text, "/")
WebBrowser1.Document.GetElementById("email").SetAttribute("value", TextBox1.Text)
WebBrowser1.Document.GetElementById("Pwd").SetAttribute("value", TextBox6.Text)

How would i post this data to a form using httpwebrequest?
The form I want to post to has a dynamic boundary.Is there a to detect the boundary pre-POSTing?Also, do I need to send the data in the format of:

Or can I set it up in pairs like: "var1=value1&var2=value2"...for all required form fields? What is the difference between the 2?
I have no idea how to use httpwebrequest anyone can show me an example of code to do the following

2.use this cookies and website referrer to download file with direct url (url...)
I am facing a strange problem with listbox. I need to scrab whois information. I used the following code to get source code of the whois query. It works fine if I use a textbox. But I need to use this for multiple url and therefore need to use lixtbox to loop through url list. Unfortunately when I use listbox1.selecteditem or listbox1.text it does not work. But this same code works with webbrowser.
Dim request As System.Net.HttpWebRequest = System.Net.HttpWebRequest.Create("http://www.networksolutions.com/whois/results.jsp?domain=" & listbox1.selecteditem)
request.UserAgent = "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; .NET CLR 1.0.3705)"

I'm building this class to download files in parts/sections/segments. In .NET 4.0, I can use this code to specify the range to download from
long startPos = int.MaxValue+1;
HttpWebRequest.AddRange(startPos);
and it works because there is a long overload for the AddRange method. When I looked up the .NET 3.5 version, I realised the AddRange() method allows using int only. The possible workaround would be using the AddRange(string, int) or AddRange(string, int, int) methods. Since the class will have to work in .NET 3.5, I'll have to go with the string specification but unfortunately I can't seem to find any sample code that shows how to specify ranges using this procedure in .NET 3.5. Can anyone show be how to do this?As the first code sample I wrote shows, I would like to specify a range of type long instead of int. Using type int allows requesting for byte ranges only up to 2GB but long allows requesting for byte ranges beyong 2GB.
The question therefore is: How do I specify byte ranges of 2GB or higher on HttpWebRequest in .NET 3.5?
Here is my code:

My problem is: for some url that function takes a long time. So, i just want to cancel the response after a given time. I tried with a timer control but that is not working. What to do? How to modify this code so this function will return result within a given time whether httpwebresponse completed or not?

how to write a httpwebrequest, however i'm unsure of how to write it with a if...statement. I have a file that I need to download, however it ususally doesn't get posted until sometime Tuesday afternoon, so what I need to do is have the program continually check say once about every 5 minutes until the file has been posted and then download it.I'm presumming using an if...statement is the best way to accomplish this, basically if true(file exists) then proceed, else wait 5 minutes and rerun process.

I'm pretty sure that I need to use Httpwebrequest "POST" method for this although Im unsure as to the exact syntax to use. I need to do a xml query to a remote web site, something like <node>" "</node, <price>" "</price> and then collect that data and import it directly into a sql table. Any suggestions or directions?

I have created a httpwebrequest connection to a streaming API after trying a tTCPClient which just never ended up working. My concern is whether my code is correct and that I am actually reading in new data and that the connection is maintained. Initially I had been reading into a buffer and just loaded everything into a file after max size, but figured it would be simpler to read a line, since each entry was being sent delimited by line feeds.
rStream = webrequest.GetResponse().GetResponseStream
rStream = New GZipStream(rStream, CompressionMode.Decompress)
If rStream.CanRead then
[code]....
It looks like I am continuously reading and not sure if I am reading redundant data here. Also another question is that if I were to use a thread to appendToFile, would that maintain the connection to the stream?
I have a problem when trying to send a POST request. The sending method looks like this:
Public Sub SendXML(ByVal file As String)
Dim reader As New StreamReader(file)
Dim data As String = reader.ReadToEnd()
[Code]....
Now looking at this I suspected that it was due to the fact that the server does not accept POST messages. But some other reading suggests that the the URI [URL] has been generated with a proxy and should be /Request so the line should read POST /Request HTTP/1.1
So what would be the common reason for this? And if it is a proxy problem, how is it sorted?
As asked below, I have created a new question for the more specific request. Changing absolute URI to relative in HTTP POST header
