.NET Forum / Languages / VB.NET / March 2008Sending POST form with WebBrowser
After a brief Google session, I can only find the following: 1. Instructions for pre-.NET VB 2. Other IE controls I need to send a POST form with the web browser control: I need to do it with it, because I need "silent authentication" to the website with IE. How would I do this? > After a brief Google session, I can only find the following: > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > with it, because I need "silent authentication" to the website with IE. > How would I do this? I did this recently, but kind of "hackish" and I'm not sure this was even the right way. After digging and not finding anything either, I found out that you can navigate all the elements of the page on the page load event. So I found all the fields I needed to fill in, then found the submit button and invoked that click event for that button. It's been working for about a year without any issues so far. >> After a brief Google session, I can only find the following: >> [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > button and invoked that click event for that button.

Untested idea: Cant you just connect to the webserver using sockets/stream, send the login info then write the returned cookie to the IE folder & startup/refresh IE? The string- to send to the webserver would be like: strPostLogin "POST /login.php HTTP/1.1" & vbcrlf & "Host: yoursite.com" & vbcrlf & "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" & vbcrlf & "Content-Length: 42" & vbcrlf & "user=onlyme&pass=youdontwannadoitlikethat!" & vbcrlf & vcrlf >>> After a brief Google session, I can only find the following: >>> [quoted text clipped - 21 lines] > "Content-Length: 42" & vbcrlf & > "user=onlyme&pass=youdontwannadoitlikethat!" & vbcrlf & vcrlf That might be very possible. I didn't even think of doing that when I did what I had to do. It's worth exploring further. >>>> After a brief Google session, I can only find the following: >>>> [quoted text clipped - 24 lines] > That might be very possible.
