Receiving HTTP POST data

[khol]

I need to create a Labview application that needs to accept HTTP POSTed xml data files from another site. I'm wondering if I can do this with the Labview datasocket server. Can the datasocket server be used to directly receive this data from the internet? Must I set up a web server to first grab the data, then use the datasocket server get it?

Thanks,

Jim

Hello Jim,

Unfortunately the DataSocket Server will not know how to handle the POST. DataSocket is a proprietary data exchange protocol designed primarily as a tool to exchange known National Instruments data-types, as well as be a wrapper for some of the simpler internet protocols such as HTTP and FTP.


A good resource for DataSocket can be found at: http://zone.ni.com/devzone/conceptd.nsf/webmain/9574A2833AB0F8B086256CB4006A1EF7 .
