:?: How use POST method?

Code: Select all

	Dim req As XMLHTTP
	Set req = New XMLHTTP
	req.open "POST", "https://robot.lk/viewtopic.php", False
	req.setRequestHeader "Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"
	req.send "f=9&p=8633"
	Text1.Text = req.responseText

This works fine with remote hosts. But doesn't work with localHost. how do I resolve?

Thankz.

Should work. Can you provide more details on the command line you use and the web server you are running.
If you are running WAMP, http://localhost/myfile.php should work. Be sure to use http:// prefix.

Worked on the first run!
I can't guess anything without seeing your code.

Yes, I found the error.

The computer must be connected to the internet to call localhost too.
It doesn't work, Without an internet connection.

I tried with Xampp. I don't know where is the problem.

Try WAMP. It might work without an internet connection.
