Is there any good example of http upload using WinInet c++ library

I cannot get my code to work :/

Solution

  • Here's a quick example from Microsoft.

       static TCHAR hdrs[] =
      _T("Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
   static TCHAR frmdata[] =
      _T("name=John+Doe&userid=hithere&other=P%26Q");
  static LPSTR accept[2]={"*/*", NULL};

   // for clarity, error-checking has been removed
   HINTERNET hSession = InternetOpen("MyAgent",
      INTERNET_OPEN_TYPE_PRECONFIG, NULL, NULL, 0);
   HINTERNET hConnect = InternetConnect(hSession, _T("ServerNameHere"),
      INTERNET_DEFAULT_HTTP_PORT, NULL, NULL, INTERNET_SERVICE_HTTP, 0, 1);
   HINTERNET hRequest = HttpOpenRequest(hConnect, "POST",
      _T("FormActionHere"), NULL, NULL, accept, 0, 1);
   HttpSendRequest(hRequest, hdrs, strlen(hdrs), frmdata, strlen(frmdata));
   // close any valid internet-handles

    The example comes from here.
