Hey all,
I'm writing a console app in vb.net that needs to upload a file to a secured website. The website has a logon page and then a couple more buttons to get you to the submit page where you upload the file. Does anyone know what the process would be for this? Here is what i've got but it's returning HTML in the response.
Public Sub Upload(ByVal filePath As String)
Dim myWebClient As New WebClient
Dim responseArray As Byte()
Dim strFileName As String
Dim strDestination As String
Dim strURL As String
strURL = "someURL"
Console.WriteLine("Logging onto secure site.")
myWebClient.Credentials = New System.Net.NetworkCredential("user", "pwd")
Console.WriteLine("Getting file.")
strFileName = filePath.Substring(filePath.LastIndexOf("\") + 1)
strDestination = strURL & strFileName
Console.WriteLine("Posting file to " & strURL)
responseArray = myWebClient.UploadFile(strDestination, "POST", filePath)
Console.WriteLine(responseArray.Length & " Bytes posted to " & strURL)
Console.WriteLine(ControlChars.Cr + "Response Received.The contents of the file uploaded are: " + ControlChars.Cr + "{0}", Encoding.ASCII.GetString(responseArray))
End Sub
which returns
<HTML> Received.The contents of the file uploaded are:
<TITLE>File Transfer</TITLE>
