Submiting a form with php socket

[resullivan]

How would I submit a form with a php socket? How does http submit a form? Is it part of the header? The form I am trying to submit is method=post and it is sent to a dll file.

[resullivan]

I think that I found that with the post method it goes in the header but when I try it, it gives me a 404.

$in = "POST /tts/anontts.dll HTTP/1.1\r\n";
$in .= "Host: www.aaacooper.com\n User-Agent: PostIt\r\n";
$in .= "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded\r\n";
$in .= "Content-Length: 14\r\n\r\n";
$in .= "SKEY0=" . urlencode(47994285) . "\r\n";

is there anything wrong with this? The variable is SKEY0 with the value 47994285

If I understand correctly, you should looking into cURL, a member of the PEAR library. http://pear.php.net/

[resullivan]

This is what I am looking at doing. It is just not working.

Ah, that's what I though, try out cURL:

http://us2.php.net/curl

[bokeh]

There's no reason it can't be done with a straight fsockopen();

[resullivan]

it is sending the header but I am getting this

400 Bad Request
The system could not process your request as submitted. This could be due to missing or malformed data, improper syntax, or a browser that is not standards compliant.

I have this

$request.="POST /tts/anontts.dll HTTP/1.1\n";
$request.="Host: www.aaacooper.com\n";
$request.="Content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded\n";
$request.="Content-length: ".strlen($data_string)."\n";
$request.="Connection: close\n";
$request.="\n";
$request.=$data_string."\n";

Did you read this thread (http://www.webdeveloper.com/forum/showthread.php?t=70375)?

[DaiWelsh]

Have you got a packet sniffer to see exactly what is sent and receievd? If so check it still looks ok and also compare it to a request from a browser which works (assuming you can get that utl working with a browser). If nothing jumps out then post the results here...

[resullivan]

I have never used a packet sniffer but am trying and cannot find where it will show what my computer is sending the website. I cannot find the POST header anywhere.

[resullivan]

I am preaty sure that it is half way working now but I am unsure of the variable and values to send. I wish I could find what my computer sends the website.

If you want a great packet monitor free download this (http://www.analogx.com/contents/download/network/pmon.htm). It lets you watch all the traffic on your network as well as just your local machine. I have a few packet monitors but I think this one is excellent. It can even be set to ignore the raw data and just show the text.

If you post the URL I will post the headers!

[DaiWelsh]

Also if you would find it easier there are products for seeing specifically http headers, I don't have links here but something like "http interceptor" and "http sniffer" are two that seem to ring a bell, will probably show up on google. These act as local proxies for the web browser and will show you the http requests and responses without having to wade through a packet monitor output.

HTH,

Obviously the first in each pair is my browser and the second is the web server responding.

[resullivan]

I got it working thanks for your help. I am trying to auto print some images that the links to them look something like this, viewimage.jsp?document=blah. There is some type of session (I think) so even though I have the exact link it does not work for some reason. Is there a way to perform some type of javascript with a socket. By this I mean like if the webpage has on click is there a way to make a socket click?

When a browser connects it does so using a socket type connection so all you need to do is emulate that connection.

[resullivan]

I can get to the page that has the image however I am not sure how to make it print. There is a print button on the page that uses javascript. What I am doing now is making the connection then getting this link then putting an <img src="blah"> on my php page. This comes up with a red X but sometimes but if I go and check it on the website and then go back to my php page the image will come up.

[resullivan]

If I could some how make the socket click the print button that would be great however the down fall to that is I would have to sit here and press print in the print box.

[resullivan]

please disreguard the javascript question as I see now how dumb it is.
