Help with httppost syntax

[Michael Hertel]

I am trying to send a page via httppost.

My web guy gave me the following info:

  Here’s are the fields you’ll need to post

       action=”SendPage”

       pagerENGINE=”A”

       PagerCo=”MET”

       SendPage=”true”

       To=”<10 digit pager number>“

       From=”“

       Contents=”“

The values for the first 4 fields will always be the same (unless you page out to a non-standard pager).

You’ll post to this URL: http://web.ourhosp.org/mblank.cfm?xyzpdqabc=0&id=3132

Here’s a sample form for you to look at:

http://web.ourhosp.org/mblank.cfm?xyzpdqabc=0&id=3132&#8221; NAME=”SendPage” id=”SendPage”>

               

               

               

               

               

               To:

               

               From:

                (name or phone number)

Can any of you tell me what the syntax would be for the httppost command in tcl?

I’ve tried the following:

httppost {{URL http://web.ourhosp.org/mblank.cfm?xyzpdqabc=0&id=3132} {DATA “action=SendPage pagerENGINE=A PagerCo=MET SendPage=true To=2061111111 From=Me Contents=This is a test page”} {TIMEOUT 5} {DEBUG 1}}

The answer is that I needed &’s embedded.

httppost {{URL http://web.ourhosp.org/mblank.cfm?xyzpdqabc=0&id=3132} {DATA “action=SendPage&pagerENGINE=A&PagerCo=MET&SendPage=true&To=2061111111&From=Me&Contents=This is a test page”} {TIMEOUT 5} {DEBUG 1}}

Michael:

This looks more like a PUT than a POST.  You will have to URL encode it.
