CString request;
request.Format("<FORM method=POST action='http://localhost/submit'>" 
				"<input type='hidden' name='number' value='%s'>" 
				"<input type='hidden' name='client' alue='help'>" 
				"<input type='hidden' name='key' alue='d1a6701ecad7d2d1ab5f32d448a72949b334cd38'>"
                                "</FORM>", pnum);


DWORD dwStat;
			CInternetSession sess;
			CHttpConnection* hConn = sess.GetHttpConnection("localhost", INTERNET_DEFAULT_HTTP_PORT, "");
			CHttpFile* file = hConn->OpenRequest(CHttpConnection::HTTP_VERB_POST, "/submit/default.aspx", NULL,1,NULL,NULL,INTERNET_FLAG_EXISTING_CONNECT);
			CString strHeaders = _T("Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
			file->SendRequest(strHeaders, (LPVOID)(LPCSTR)request, request.GetLength());
			file->QueryInfoStatusCode(dwStat);
			CString code; code.Format("%d", dwStat);
			theProc.Message(LOG_INFO, "Code: "  + code);

			
			if (dwStat == 200) //REQUEST SENT SUCCESSFUL
			{
                           CString cLine;
			   CString cStr;

			   while(file->ReadString(cLine))
				cStr += cLine+"\r\n";
                        }


When i run this i get Code 200 returned but in the response the values i posted are NULL

Here is how i check them in aspx

if (Request.Form["number"] != null && Request.Form["client"] != null && Request.Form["key"] != null)
            {
                //Response.ContentType = "text/plain";
                Response.Write(Request.Form["number"].ToString() + "<br>");
                Response.Write(Request.Form["client"].ToString() + "<br>");
                Response.Write(Request.Form["key"].ToString() + "<br>");
            }
            else
            {
                //Response.ContentType = "text/plain";
                Response.Write("1");                
                
            }


So the response in the page is 1.

Any advise on what i am doing wrong?
Thanks

request.Format("<FORM method=POST action='http://localhost/submit'>"
"<input type='hidden' name='number' value='%s'>"
"<input type='hidden' name='client' alue='help'>"
"<input type='hidden' name='key' alue='d1a6701ecad7d2d1ab5f32d448a72949b334cd38'>"
"</FORM>", pnum);

I think you mean value and not alue.

I'm not good with Windows stuff. But are you really supposed to be sending a HTML form here? I would have thought it is expecting a QUERY STRING stuffed with the form data:
 
 
request.Format("number=%s&client=help&key=d1a6701ecad7d2d1ab5f32d448a72949b334cd38", pnum);
