Question post http request not sending data...?!?

[danturn]

Hi guys,

I wrote a small VB script which sends a XML string to a cisco phone..

i'm trying to rewrite it in VB .net at the moment but am having some issues...

I know very little about vb .net so i'm sure i'm doing something monumentally stupid...

my code is here...


using System;
using MSXML2;
using System.IO;
using System.Net;
using System.Text;
using System.Net.Sockets;
namespace PP
{
class Program
{
public static void Main(string[] args)
{

string XML = "XML=<ciscoipphoneexecute><executeitem priority='0' url='Play:chime.raw'></ciscoipphoneexecute>";
byte[] auth = System.Text.ASCIIEncoding.UTF8.GetBytes("10014535" + ":" + "0250");

MSXML2.XMLHTTPClass xmlhttp = new MSXML2.XMLHTTPClass();
xmlhttp.open("Post", "http://192.168.1.5/CGI/Execute", true, "", "");
xmlhttp.setRequestHeader("Authorization", "Basic " + Convert.ToBase64String(auth));
xmlhttp.setRequestHeader("Connection", "close");
xmlhttp.setRequestHeader("Content-type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
xmlhttp.send(XML);
}
}
}

my issue is that when i run this it doesn't send anything. When i run the vbscript i can use wireshark to sniff the packets to the phone and from the phone to the call manager... when i run this i get nothing

any help would be very very gratefully received!

I'm not familiar with the MSXML2 objects - I usually use HTTPRequests to POST data, but maybe you need to flush it or something? I'm not sure if you also need to specify the content length?

now do you want to rewrite your code into vb.net ?
