Native DLL for uploading data

I need a Windows DLL that allows posting data to specific webpage. A good example is ISX, which is excellent in downloading, but unfortunately doesn't support POST request.

This will be used to build a portable application in VB6. Because winsock.ocx is not always available and requires registration, I'm looking for a registration-free native alternative.

Are there any similar DLLs available?

Need something simple and straightforward, like PostData (url, data).

Solution

  • You can always build libcurl or neon as a DLL: you'll need to do the VB6 declarations, but there's no reason why you wouldnt be able to work them in you can't package winsock.ocx into your installer.

    EDIT: see http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/vb/. Not sure how current/recent it is, but it would probably be a decent start.
