MSMXL contains XMLHTTP which lets you send HTTP content. You can use also use the free wwXML class to perform the same task using Fox code. It's free, but the full version of wwIPStuff includes the full HTTP tools which are more flexible in controlling HTTP connections and posting to servers with various different modes.

You can download the shareware version to try it out. With it's real easy to access Web content:

oHTTP = CREATE('wwhttp')
oHTTP.AddPostKey("Company","West Wind")
oHtpp.AddPostKey("CC","Don't you wish? <g>)
lcHtml = oHttp.HttpGet("http://someserver/Somapage.asp")

For free you can also use the XMLHTTP component that ships with the MSXML parser, but you'll have to write encoders to send your data up.


>I would like to process credit cards over the web, but I want to write the code in a VFP application. I'm really not interested in a "shopping cart" type application, I want to do all of that myself. What I am really interested in is a program that I can use with "HTTP" to send a request through a gateway to get an authorization code, etc.
