[Gambas-user] HttpClient class - post method Q&A

[Matteo Pasotti]

Hi,
I'm developing a little application that uses the httpclient class from 
gb.net.curl component.
In this case I used the Post method but I'm not been able to find 
documentation about it on gambasdoc.org. So, considering that I solved 
my problem, I would share my little portion of code hoping that it will 
be useful for someone else.

DIM str AS String
DIM t AS HttpClient
t.Async = FALSE
t.URL = "http://www.example.dot/something.php"
t.Timeout = 60
str = "Hello"
t.Post("application/x-www-form-urlencoded", "s=" & str)
IF t.Status < 0 THEN
    Message("error")
ELSE
    IF Lof(t) THEN READ #t, buffer, Lof(t)
    Message(buffer)
ENDIF

The only problem I faced is about str encoding. I solved this problem 
using Replace function (with a String array manually populated) but I 
don't know if there's a better way. Any tips?

Regards,
    Matteo
