POST to an HTTPS page with VBScript
POST to an HTTPS page with VBScript
I'm trying to connect to an HTTPS page with a POST request. It is on an old website that uses ASP/VBScript (not ASP.Net). I can do this with PHP, but I'm not so good with ASP/VBScript, and it continually fails. Here's my code:
Dim httpObj, myURL, myResponseText
myURL = "https://example.com/mypage.php"
'Set httpObj = CreateObject("Microsoft.XmlHttp")
Set httpObj = CreateObject("MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP")
httpObj.Open "POST", myURL, False
httpObj.SetRequestHeader "Content-Type", "Application/x-www-form-urlencoded"
httpObj.SetOption 2, 13056
httpObj.Send myXML.Xml
myResponseText = httpObj.ResponseText
I've tried with both types of objects shown above (and others). The SetOption line supposedly ignores any cert restrictions on the HTTPS site. I have a valid XML object named myXML.
SetOption
myXML
What is the response you get from the site, i.e. how exactly does the request fail?
SetOption 2, 13056 should indeed ignore all certificate errors, so I don't see anything inherently wrong with your code.– Ansgar Wiechers

SetOption 2, 13056
my bad, the basic plumbing was fine but the form data was malformed (just sending straight xml through as shown above). Once I fixed that, I got responses. Thanks to everyone who took a look!
