Yea, I'm trying to figure out how to make it post to a page.
Thanks

PostHTTPPage takes 3 parameters. The first one is an integer returned from InitializeHTTPClient. The second one is the URL that you're posting to. The third parameter is the post string such as 'a=b&c=d'.

You should use PostHTTPPageEx and AddPostVariable instead though :).

Like this?

var
S:string;
begin
S := 'gay';
PostHTTPPageEx(0,'www.loloo.com');
AddPostVariable(0,s,s);
end.
?

No, PostHTTPPage(Ex) actually posts to the page. You also need InitializeHTTPClient.


var
Client : integer;
begin
Client := InitializeHTTPClient(False);
AddPostVariable(Client, 'gay', 'gay');
postHTTPPageEx(Client, 'www.loloo.com');
FreeHTTPClient(Client);
end.
Would work the same as

var
Client : integer;
begin
Client := InitializeHTTPClient(False);
PostHTTPPage(Client, 'www.loloo.com', 'gay=gay');
FreeHTTPClient(Client);
end.

I get a error with:
Client := InitializeHTTPClient(False); and I'm still unsure what the Post is posting, as such.

What do you mean? It would be helpful if you could tell me the error you are receiving.

[Error] (8:40): Invalid number of parameters at line 7
Compiling failed.
E:and basiclly I have a website, and I want to post something to it, but I don't like the idea of it being a open post.

SRL overrides it, use Wrap instead.

Edit: Nevermind.

As Dgby said, use InitializeHTTPClientWrap instead.

try
Client := InitializeHTTPClient(False, False);

AddPostVariable will add a post-variable to the web client.
