How to send a URL from within LabView

[BigDrum]

Thanks Mike.

Basically I do not know how to start. Do you have an simple example (upload a file to a web) ?

I have some basic idea what I should do (send a POST string to URL, and then "hit" the button "upload" by program). But just no enough knowledge of Web/http/html.

Thanks for all your help.

Hi vcxo,

a POST string can work but it's not very common these days. There are not very much websides supporting this function. Did you try to upload your file using ActiveX? You can use ActiveX to fill out the form and to send it.

Is there an FTP support on the web site you try to connect to?

Hi Mike,

Anything can do the job will be ok. Do you have an simple example of upload a file using ActiveX ?

It is Amazon.com so I guess no FTP.

Thanks !

Hi vcxo,

maybe this link helps.

It shows how you can manipulate a web page with ActiveX.

Hi Mike,

I read the link and modify my code but still get Error 97. I think I need change the sequence according to the html layout of that page, correct ?

[MikeS81]

Hi vcxo,

yes that's correct. Change the control and form name used in the example to the names valid for your webpage.

Hi vcxo,

i want to correct me here. I think POST can work for you, what i had in mind was the "PUT" (is not very propagated anymore) command. Sorry for this.

You should be able to analyse the data traffic, if you upload your file manually, if it is not coded.

Hi Mike,

The problem now is I do not have enough knowledge of web (PUT,POST.etc). Do you have a simple example ?

Thanks for all of your time and help.
