coldfusion cfhttp command interaction

[Guest]

Hello,
I'm Francesco and I write from Italy. I have a web site made in ColdFusion
that makes an HTTP request to another site in coldfusion using the tag
CFHTTP. The result of the call is sent to the page. Now I have to re-create
the web site in ASP.NET but I don't now how to generate and process an HTTP
request in .NET . I tryed the HttpWebRequest but maybe i'm in the wrong way.
Thanks in advance for the help

Hi Francesco,

If you know the names of the fields that the target page expects, you can
put them into a name/value collection and post them using
System.Net.WebClient.

Here's a little code that might get you started:


Sub DoPost()
Dim uriString As String = _
"http://localhost/p4320work/mySpecialPage.aspx"
Dim strGoName As String
strGoName = TextBox1.Text
' Create a new WebClient instance.
Dim myWebClient As New System.Net.WebClient
Dim myNameValueCollection As New _
System.Collections.Specialized.NameValueCollection
myNameValueCollection.Add("go1", strGoName)
myNameValueCollection.Add("Button1", "")
Dim responseArray As Byte() = myWebClient.UploadValues _
(uriString, "POST", myNameValueCollection)

Label1.Text = "Response received was :" & _
System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetString(responseArray)
End Sub

Let us know if this helps?
