I want to post one or more values to a php file on a strato (the host) server on a https domain using a C# WPF desktop application. However, after several attempts with a test program nothing seems to work. The testing value is not posted to the server, the $_POST Array is empty, respectively. I do get an echoed answer from the server but its always 'Error' (See script below).
I did try this with several techniques as well:
Webclient/HttpClientHttpWebRequest- Adjusting
SecurityProtocolType - sending value as
byte[]
and what not.
$_GET by the way works perfectly fine as I always get back the computed testing value from the php script. However, I would like to have a POST Request since I am sending user data to the server.
More precisely, I already have tried these solutions (and several similar ones):
- How to make HTTP POST web request (basically all of them except 3rd Party)
- C# HttpClient not sending POST variables
- https://holger.coders-online.net/118
- http://www.howtosolvenow.com/how-to-send-https-post-request-with-c/
Testing PHP Script:
$newnumber = 'Error';
if(isset($_POST['number']))
{
$newnumber = $_POST['number']+1;
}
echo $newnumber;
//keeps on returning 'Error'
Latest attempt of C# code:
string resultString = null;
string _url = "https://myURL.com/test.php";
//ServicePointManager.SecurityProtocol = SecurityProtocolType.Tls11;
HttpClient client = new HttpClient();
var content = new FormUrlEncodedContent(new[] {
new KeyValuePair<string,string>("number", "2"),
});
var response = await client.PostAsync(_url, content);
resultString = await response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();
this._txt.Text = resultString;
