submitting \n in the querystring parameters

[Abubakar]

Hi,
I've written some code using wininet functions (HttpOpenRequest etc). I'm
calling a url through my code passing it parameters in the format :
http://someip.com?id=3&messagebody=hello world
something like above. Now the above parameter *messagebody* is composed of
some text sentences which also have the ascii characters 13 and 10 as part
of it (cuz it was taken from a textbox). The problem is that when this text
goes to the server through this url's messagebody param, the 13 and 10 ascii
codes disappear. What can I do so that the 13 and 10 ascii codes are
preserved? The text that I'm sending has a to be stored in a data base and
later on retrieved.

Regards,

Do not pass data in get request, instead pass it in post.

Hi,
I thought I'm using post cuz I'm using the following code:
HINTERNET openhnet = ::HttpOpenRequestA (
hconnect,
"POST",
m_rest_of_url_text,
"HTTP/1.1",
NULL,
types,
INTERNET_FLAG_NO_CACHE_WRITE | ( isHttps () ? getHttpsFlags(): 0 ),
0 ) ;
If its not the way plz tell how do I make it a post request.

Hey I have done it. The msdn page titled: "HTTP Sessions" was really
helpful. And some code that I borrowed a single line from codeguru titled:
"Generic HTTP Client" by Heo Yongsun.

Thanks all.
