PostHTTPData help

I just can't get this one to work...

Pasting "https://www.someapp.com/publicapi/a...nt=something&description=something&priority=0" into my browser works but what is the correct way to use with PostHTTPData function?

I've tried:
PostHTTPData('https://www.someapp.com', '/publicapi/add?apikey=1234567890abcdef&application=something&event=something&description=something&priority=0');

PostHTTPData('https://www.someapp.com/publicapi/add', '?apikey=1234567890abcdef&application=something&event=something&description=something&priority=0');

and a few variations to no avail.
Any advice?

Note - there's no spaces in the address in my code or the preview box, yet some appear in the final post??

 

If it works pasting it into a browser url field try using the GetHTTPData procedure, not PostHTTPData.

 

Hi Mark

I've looked through my code and find I have used the GET rather than the POST...

e.g.

GetHTTPData('http://webservice.weatherzone.com.au/rss/wx.php?lc=12495&fc=1');

I did this a long time ago and seem to remember I had to use this method. Whist this example was 'getting' info, I had a use for posting on pvoutput.org for my solar panel data

Cheers

 

Many thanks for pointing me in the right direction, I'm now able to send notifications via Prowl to my iDevices.

Now, to really sort my code - is there a function to check a string and replace a space with another character? Failing that, is it possible to remove white space?

Example 1: change "11:30 PM" to "11:30+PM"?
Example 2: change "11:30 PM" to "11:30PM"?

I've tried changing the time format in Windows control panel but that didn't work.

 

Unfortunately the logic engine doesn't support the encodeURL/decodeURL or String replace functions so you have to do it yourself.

Try

Code:

for i := 1 to length(theString) do
  if theString[i] = ' ' then theString[i] := '+';

or

Code:

repeat
  i := pos(' ', theString);
  if i > 0 then theString[i] := '+';
 until i = 0;

Probably best to put it in a procedure so you call call it from wherever you want.

 

Thanks Ashley, your snippet did the trick.
