POST with XMLHTTPRequest Component?

[Kris]

I'm having some real problems sucessfully posting to an ASP page with the
XMLHTTPRequest object. I open the page using:

objXMLHTTP.open "POST", PageURL, "", ""

then I'm trying to insert my page parameters into the header, and this is
where I'm missing something... I don't know the correct bstr name of the
parameter to tell the ASP page that this is POST data. I know there must
be some sort of content-type value that it needs to know how to interpret
it on the ASP side. With Cookies, you go...

objXMLHTTP.setRequestHeader "Cookie", "cookie1=value;cookie2=value2"

I just don't know the correct name, I believe that I need to do something
like:

objXMLHTTP.setRequestHeader "??????", "name=username&pass=userpassword"
objXMLHTTP.send

Can anyone help on this?

Thanks,

Kris

Hi Kris,
is this what you are looking for?
Seve,
http://www.xmldir.com
**************************************************
open Method
Initializes a Microsoft.XMLHTTP request and specifies the method, URL, and
authentication information for the request. After calling this method, you
must call send to send the request and data (if any) to the server.

oXMLHttpRequest.open(method, url, async, user, password)
Parameters
method
String. HTTP method used to open the connection, such as GET, POST, PUT,
or PROPFIND.

url
String. Requested URL. This must be an absolute URL, such as "http://Myserver/Mypath/".


async [optional]
Boolean. Indicator of whether the call is asynchronous. The default is True
(the call returns immediately). If set to True, attach an onreadystatechange
callback so that you can tell when the send call has completed.

user [optional]
Name of the user for authentication. If this parameter is Null ("") or missing
and the site requires authentication, the component displays a logon window.


password [optional]
Password for authentication. This parameter is ignored if the user parameter
is Null ("") or missing.
