How to do HTTP POST in LabWindows CVI

[Kling25]

I would like to do a HTTP POST in LabWindows CVI. Do you have any suggestion?

I have successfully done that in Visual Studio using C++ with the libcurl library.

But, when I was trying to migrate my libcurl into CVI, it does not compile.

Please advise.

Thank you,

I do not think we have any HTTP libraries, but here is an example of making HTTP Requests using .NET Controllers in LabWindows/CVI.

Hope it helps!

I've done this in CVI using the telnet library and manually putting together the appropiate commands to send to the web server.  It's a bit tedious but I made it work.

Hi Sebi,

To make an HTTP POST with labwindows you have to use ConnectToTCPServer (with port number = 80 ) to connect to your server.

And then ClientTCPWrite/ClientTCPRead to send your POST request and read back answer.

Here is a sample POST request to be sent by ClientTCPWrite :

POST /yourpath HTTP/1.1
From: yoururl.com
User-Agent: yourtool
Content-Type: text/plain
Content-Length: 20

some data to be sent

Regards,

Stef
