CHttpConnection OpenRequest SendRequest [modified]

[dehseth]

Hi everybody, I have been having problems with http post using visual c++ (not .Net) Here is my code:

CInternetSession session("My Session");
CHttpConnection* pServer = NULL;
CHttpFile* pFile = NULL;
DWORD dwRet;
char szBuff[1024];

try
{
   CString strServerName = "http://www.cnn.com";
   INTERNET\_PORT nPort = 80;

   pServer = session.GetHttpConnection(strServerName, nPort);
   pFile = pServer->OpenRequest(CHttpConnection::HTTP\_VERB\_GET, ""); //strObject);
   //pFile->AddRequestHeaders(NULL); // szHeaders);
   pFile->SendRequest();
   pFile->QueryInfoStatusCode(dwRet);

   if (dwRet == HTTP\_STATUS\_OK)
   {
        ...

Well I have tried a lot of code combinations. And when I realized application crashes at pFile->SendRequest(); I decided to make a GET instead of POST. Well it still does not work. When I run the code above I got a MessageBox saying The URL is invalid :doh: And when I run with AddRequestHeaders(NULL) line it basicly crashes.. I have done a research at web but cannot find anything useful. My main purpose is to open a URL which I can do it using session::openurl and after getting the content post a form and get feedback from post. Thank you all --- OK People the problem is solved. Guess what I SHALL NOT WRITE HTTP:// at the beginning of URL! I guess msdn should contain such an info! :cool:
