File upload and response with TclCurl
|

| Charlie Bursell 2004-10-20, 4:07 pm |
| Can I use ::curl::transfer to send a file to a Web Server and get a
response from that Web Server? For example I have an XML file that I
wish to send to an asp application, i.e, http://10.10.20.11/hisap.asp.
The web server then returns an Acknowledgement message indicating
whether he was happy with the message or not.
Something like: ::curl::transfer -url http://10.10.20.11/hisap.asp
-file myfile
returns 0. I need the response from the remote application.
On the same subject, do I have to send it as a file or can I send it
as a buffer from within my Tcl script?
Any help is appreciated

I am guessing the asp app will expect the file to be sent
as if you had been in a web page with a form and a submit
button, in that case you need to do something like this:
set fileContent "This is what we will send as if it was the content of a file"
curl::transfer -url http://10.10.20.11/hisap.asp -bodyvar ack -post 1
-httppost [list name "name" bufferName noFile.txt \
buffer $fileContent contenttype "text/plain"]
-httppost [list name "submit" contents "send"]
puts "Server acknowledgment:"
puts $ack

Actually, believe it or not, they just want the message (XML) and they
will then send back a response (XML). Perhaps -bodyvar is what I
need. I had attempted to use -writeproc. That works well as long as
everything is at the global level. But as soon as I try to work
inside a namespace, I get the message "Failed writing body".
Thank you for your help
