How can i do a HTTP post from testcomplete

var http = Sys.OleObject("MSXML2.XMLHTTP");

http.open("POST", "url", false);

http.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "text/xml");

argumentString = "Data to send in the form of a string"

http.send(argumentString);

Log.Message(http.responseText);

What I've done is used Sys.OleObject to create an instance of the MSXML2.XMLHTTP object and used that to post.  You can find information on that object on the MSDN Library on Microsoft's website.

Hello Robert,



That was really informative. But, using curl i post a simple string but not an XML Post. So is there a way to do that without XML in place. 



Example string : 



"Date,Float,Text/r/n "

The MSXML2 object all it does is allow you to create HTTP connections for posting.  The format of what you post does not need to be XML... what I'm currently using it for is posting a URL with a query string.

Thank you Robert Martin, i tried  Sys.OleObject("MSXML2.XMLHTTP") and could successfully do an HTTP POST through test complete. 



Thank you once again. :)

Hello

I have a question http://smartbear.com/forums/f75/t82954/how-i-can-send-post-inquiry

could not understand about Sys.OleObject("MSXML2.XMLHTTP")

Hello! There is a situation I can not cope with, the thing is that I enter test sites using coockies (without that I am redirected to Google because of my ip) and then I work directly using the interface. But it became necessary to reduce time for testing by organizing the registration with the help of post request, and here a problem appeared. The fact is that when I send a request, I get an answer from google with 405 error that means that my cookie does not work in this case. Could you help me somehow?

Hi Mark,



Quick google search without detailed analysis of your code returned this: https://support.microsoft.com/kb/326847/EN-US.

Specifically: does it help if you replace

Msxml2.ServerXMLHTTP.3.0

with

Msxml2.ServerXMLHTTP.4.0 as it is recommended?
