Remarks

This method is used to post information to the server.

Generally, the Post method is used for questionnaires, forms, etc.; Any kind of information can be sent using this method (like Name, Password, Queries, Credit-Card numbers etc. ) .

The following sample would send your e-mail address to a remote server (code in VB):
 
wodHttp1.Hostname = "www.somehost.com"
wodHttp1.Request.Body = "My email is joe@email.com"
wodHttp1.Post "/email.cgi"
 

Please note that this method will not 'upload' any document and store it on a remote server. Rather, information will be sent and the remote server will process it and/or store it internally in some database. Remote URL (/email.cgi in above sample) must be prepared to accept posted data. To help you posting information, please refer to HttpRequestFormPost object, and to HttpRequestFormUpload object.
