Post Method

Posts data to the HTTP server using the HTTP POST method.

Syntax

void __fastcall Post(String URL);

Remarks

This method posts data to the HTTP server using the HTTP POST method. The posted data is taken from PostData and/or AttachedFile properties. The server response text is received through the Transfer event, and the HTTP response headers through the Header event. If LocalFile is not empty the data (not the headers) is written there as well.

If the goal is to upload a file or binary form data to a receiving script, the postdata must be MIME encoded, or you should use the WebUpload or WebForm component.

Example (Performing a Post)

HTTPControl.ContentType = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"
HTTPControl.PostData = "firstname=Tom&lastname=Thompson&country=US"
HTTPControl.Post(myurl)
