I have this data server side in variables and I would like to send it from the server via HTTPS/POST to a DLL at authorize.net that accepts HTTPS/POST. One way to do this I know of is to put javascript in my bodytag that autosubmits the form (with hidden input tags) after zero seconds but is there a more elegant, pure server-side way to do this? Maybe a component someone has built? It seems logical for something like this to work. Unfortunately authorize.net's AIM will not accept GET. Needs to be sent via POST. Thanks for any help you all can give!

You need your ISP to install WinHttp (free download from Microsoft) object on your web server. Some ISPs won't install foreign objects though.

Hope it points you in the right direction.

Code example (actually being used with AuthorizeNet to validate credit card transactions: edited for this post):
<%
Set WinHttp = Server.CreateObject("WinHttp.WinHttpRequest.5")

'+
' Post data using ADC method from AuthorizeNet.
' Build your PostData string here FILL IN YOUR USER INFO INSTEAD!
'-
PostData = "x_Version=3.0"
PostData = PostData & "&x_ADC_Delim_Data=TRUE"
PostData = PostData & "&x_ADC_Delim_Character=|"
PostData = PostData & "&x_ADC_URL=FALSE"
PostData = PostData & "&x_Card_Num=" & "CreditCardNumber"
PostData = PostData & "&x_Exp_Date=" & "CardExpMonth" & "/" & "CardExpYear"
PostData = PostData & "&x_Amount=" & "OrderTotal"
PostData = PostData & "&x_Cust_ID=" & "CLIENT"
PostData = PostData & "&x_Invoice_Num=" & "ORDER"
PostData = PostData & "&x_First_Name=" & "FirstName"
PostData = PostData & "&x_Last_Name=" & "LastName"
PostData = PostData & "&x_Address=" & "Address"
PostData = PostData & "&x_City=" & "City"
PostData = PostData & "&x_State=" & "State"
PostData = PostData & "&x_Zip=" & "Zip"
PostData = PostData & "&x_Country=" & "Country"

' Add more information here if needed

WinHttp.Open "POST", "https://secure.authorize.net/gateway/transact.dll?" & PostData

WinHttp.Send ' Send request using https
ResponseText = WinHttp.ResponseText ' assign to local variable
ResponseArray = Split(ResponseText,"|") ' split delimited data
Select Case ResponseArray(0)
Case "1"
     ' Authenticated
Case Else
     Response.Write("Problem! reason: " & ResponseArray(3))
End Select
%>

Did you replace the "placeholder" values with your values?

Example: replace "CLIENT" with your AuthorizeNet client name, etc.

Also, you must have WinHTTP installed on your web host server machine.

Sorry for two posts in a row... Misunderstood your problem!

Example post to your own page:

WinHttp.Open "POST", "http://www.yoururl.com/yourpage.asp?" & PostData

Yourpage.asp:

<%
Reponse.Write(Request.Querystring)
%>

Thanks a lot UNCLE, that code really helped as I was doing the exact thing you mentioned (integration with Authorize.NET). I had to change a few things to get it to work in Visual Basic, but all minor. Thanks again.

I tried to use the sample above but it seems to only send the data as a send. Is there a way to send it as a post?

Opps it was late when I typed that last message. I ment to say I can only send the data as a GET. Is there anyway to send it as a POST

-Matt

The method to use is specified with the call to:

WinHttp.Open "POST", ...

WinHttp.Open "GET", ...

The example uses POST method even though the query string is visible...
