Hi Brucey!

I have a newb question...Im trying to get data from a post

Local curl:TCurlEasy = TCurlEasy.Create()
Local data:String = "service=1"
curl.setOptString(CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, data)
curl.setOptString(CURLOPT_URL, "http://localhost/validator.php")
curl.perform() ' post away!

but the data goes directly to console. I haven´t found a way to retrieve that data myself... how can i do it?

Thanks!

You can get the response with curl.ToString() or you can let curl write it to a stream by calling curl.setWriteStream()

Hi Htbaa, I tried using the curl.toString() method but i get nothing. As for the curl.SetWriteStream() i did this:

Local curl:TCurlEasy = TCurlEasy.Create()
Local data:String = "service=1"
curl.setOptString(CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, data)
curl.setOptString(CURLOPT_URL, "http://localhost/validator.php")

Local bk:TBank = CreateBank(5)
Local bs:TBankStream = CreateBankStream(bk)
curl.setWriteStream(bs)

curl.perform() ' post away!

Print "StreamSize:" + StreamSize(bs)

SeekStream(bs, 0)
Repeat
	Print "data:" + ReadByte(bs)
Until bs.Eof()

And it worked :) thanks a lot man

For curl.ToString() to work you need to activate it by calling curl.setWriteString().

You could also use my rest.mod to do this by the way.

It worked too!

Thanks a lot... i'll give it a try to your module too, thanks!
