 file transfer via http Environment: NT 4.0 SP3 VC++ 6.0 SP2 Hi,
I want to send (post) binary files via http. Not ftp! Has anybody an idea of
how that can be done?
I have already searched in MSDN, but couldn't find any (useful) information.
Is there a class which I can use?
Thanks in advance for any hint.

file transfer via http Do you have a web server to do this? What's the client? If it is a browser, you can use a: Asp: binaryWrite. b: ASP call VB/VC/VJ com obj. Inside the com obj, you can use ASP Response.BinaryWrite. c: Use ISAPI directly. Rgds, Don Ji Quote:

file transfer via http The WinInet APIs support HTTP as well as FTP. I assume you are talking about writing a custom client. Quote:

file transfer via http Hi, Don Ji, Yes, I'm trying to upload binary files from my custom app.
I know the WinInet Api functions (CHttpConnection, CHttpFile,
CInternetSession, etc.), but I'm desperately searching for a code example
about how to upload binary files via http from my client. (Environment: NT
4.0 SP3, VC++ 6.0 SP2)
As far as I know one should use the PUT method (or even the POST method) and
has to fill in the correct request headers.
But how does all this fit together? What are the correct request headers?
What is the correct method?
If you had a code snippet to send me or any other information it
would be so helpful.
Thanks a bunch in advance,
Roberto.

The simplest thing to do is write a simple socket program to sit on a port and wait for incoming info. Then create a simple HTML page that has a form with a binary file and whose action is your program. Submit the form, examine the results. Duplicate that. Also, have a look at the HTTP RFCs.

file transfer via http The PUT method is for changing the content of a web server remotely. What you probably want is HTTP File Upload which uses POST. See RFC 1867
"Form-based File Upload in HTML". Also see MS KB Q189651 "SAMPLE: Uploading
a File to IIS Using a Browser". The sample is an ISAPI Extension DLL that
will receive a POSTed file. This is the server side. Off hand I don't know
of a client sample but basically you want to create a POST request. The body
of the POST request will contain the file (or files) as described in the
RFC.
