Nope, but you will need a script to read/manipulate the data.

Thanks for responding!

Could you please provide (i.e., point me in the direction of) such a script (for reading/manipulating HTTP PUT data)?

Thank you.

That all depends on what you're trying to achieve, but to test your form is
sending meaningful data:

<%
dim x
For each x in Request.Form
Response.Write x & " = " & Request.Form(x) & "<br>"
Next
%>

I've been attempting to use HttpSendRequest in a VB6 application to perform an HTTP PUT to a Windows 2000 Server Web server (IIS 5.0). The code looks something like:

Public Declare Function HttpOpenRequest Lib "wininet.dll" Alias "HttpOpenRequestA" (ByVal hConnect As Long, ByVal sVerb As String, ByVal sObjectName As String, ByVal sVersion As String, ByVal sReferer As String, ByVal sAcceptTypes As String, ByVal lFlags As Long, ByVal lContext As Long) As Long

Public Declare Function HttpSendRequest Lib "wininet.dll" Alias "HttpSendRequestA" (ByVal hRequest As Long, ByVal sHeaders As String, ByVal lHeadersLength As Long, ByVal sOptional As String, ByVal lOptionalLength As Long) As Integer
..
..
..

hHTTPOpenRequestHandle = HttpOpenRequest(hInternetConnectHandle, "PUT", "/test.txt", sVersion, sReferrer, sAcceptTypes, lFlagsHttpOpenRequest, lContextHttpOpenRequest)

iHttpSendRequestEx = HttpSendRequest(hHTTPOpenRequestHandle, "", 0, "Test_string", Len("Test_string"))

When I run this code, HttpSendRequest returns TRUE as desired, indicating (I believe) that the request was sent to the Web server machine. But the file test.txt does not get written to the machine! What am I doing wrong? Please help or advise where I might find help.

Thank you.
