WinHttpPostSample
WinHttpPostSample (POSTSAMPLE.EXE) is a sample application showing how to post with WinHttp perhaps using SSL and perhaps through proxy and/or server which require authentication. It takes three parameters, the server URL, the POST contents pointed to by a filename, and the proxy URL. The URLs are of the form
http[s]://username:password@host:port/path
Where username, password, and port are optional. The proxy url must be http not https, and may not include a path Technically the username:password@ part makes this not a valid HTTP url, but its a convenient way to pass credentials to this test app.
Build the sample
- Initialize the sample build environment with setenv.bat.
- Compile the by running
nmakein this directory. This sample only builds for an NT environment.
An indispensable tool when working with HTTP requests is Microsoft Network Monitor, which can currently be found at http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/netmon/netmon/using_network_monitor_2_0.asp.
DATA.ASP is a simple ASP page that responds with about the same response body as it saw in the request body. It can be set up on an IIS server to try out this sample.
