How to set RequestType to POST?

[Martin Feuersteiner]

Dear Group

I'm having trouble with the script below. How do I set the RequestType so
the script will use POST instead of GET?
I tried the script below with no luck.

Thanks for your time & efforts!

Private Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load

Request.RequestType = "POST"

'Open Database Connection
clsData.OpenSQLConnection()

Dim prm1 As SqlClient.SqlParameter 'SenderTxt
Dim prm2 As SqlClient.SqlParameter 'TimeTxt
Dim prm3 As SqlClient.SqlParameter 'MessageTxt
Dim prm4 As SqlClient.SqlParameter 'KeywordTxt

Dim str1 As String = "EXEC sp_SaveSMS @SenderTxt, @TimeTxt,
@MessageTxt, @KeywordTxt"
Dim cmd1 As New SqlClient.SqlCommand(str1, SQLConnection)

prm1 = cmd1.CreateParameter
With prm1
.ParameterName = "@SenderTxt"
.SqlDbType = SqlDbType.VarChar
.Value = CStr(Request.QueryString("sender"))
End With

prm2 = cmd1.CreateParameter
With prm2
.ParameterName = "@TimeTxt"
.SqlDbType = SqlDbType.VarChar
.Value = CStr(Request.QueryString("time"))
End With

prm3 = cmd1.CreateParameter
With prm3
.ParameterName = "@MessageTxt"
.SqlDbType = SqlDbType.VarChar
.Value = CStr(Request.QueryString("message"))
End With

prm4 = cmd1.CreateParameter
With prm4
.ParameterName = "@KeywordTxt"
.SqlDbType = SqlDbType.VarChar
.Value = CStr(Request.QueryString("keyword"))
End With

cmd1.Parameters.Add(prm1)
cmd1.Parameters.Add(prm2)
cmd1.Parameters.Add(prm3)
cmd1.Parameters.Add(prm4)

Try
cmd1.ExecuteNonQuery()

Finally
clsData.CloseSQLConnection()
End Try

End Sub

You can't change the type of the current request, that doesn't make any
sense. What are you trying to accomplish?

Hi Rick
Thanks for helping!

I need to process data sent to me by a 3rd party, in this case a sms
gateway.

When I test the page by typing this URLQuerystring in my browser address
bar,
http://www.mydomain.com/app/smsinbox.aspx?sender=Me&time=Now&message=Hello&keyword=i2b,
everything works perfectly fine.

But when the sms gateway sends me data using exactly the same format, it
doesn't get processed.

I was told that I need to use POST instead of GET for my script. When I look
at my IIS raw log files, data sent via the browser address bar uses GET and
the sms gateway uses POST. I can't change what method the SMS gateway uses
just was told to adapt my script to use POST.

Thanks very much for your time and efforts!

Not sure what is your problem but sounds like you should be using
Request.Form["variablename"] instead of Request.QueryString["variablename"]
to access those parameters.

Request.Form does the trick! Thanks very much for making my day!
