HTTP POST Client/Server

Hi all,

Well i am trying to sent a small xml message via http post method to a specified server.
I have managed to connect to that server but i haven't manage to upload my xml data.
My code looks like:

$fp = fsockopen($host,80, $errno, $errstr, 30);
if (!$fp) {
   echo "$errstr ($errno)<br />\n";
} else {
   $out = "GET /HTTP/1.1\r\n";
   $out .= "Host: $host\r\n";
   $out .= "Connection: Close\r\n\r\n";

  fwrite($fp,$out);
while (!feof($fp)) {
       echo fgets($fp, 128);
   }

   echo "connected<br/>";

   fclose($fp);
}

Well this script shows me that i am connected but the right thing is to sent the xml file with my username and pwd to connect to that server.

Can anyone help me please?

Thank you.

thanks

http://www.jmarshall.com/easy/http/#postmethod
we use the post method
Content-Type would be text/xml

Code:

$xml = [dump xml text in this var]
....

$out  = "POST /HTTP/1.1\r\n";
$out .= "From: $username\r\n";
$out .= "User-Agent: $useragent\r\n";
$out .= "Content-Type: text/html\r\n";
$out .= "Content-Length: " . strlen($xml) . "\r\n\r\n";
$out .= $xml . "\r\n";
$out .= "Connection: Close\r\n\r\n";

....

I haven't tested it myself, so you're bound to need to tinker with the idea
Hope this helps
