** nOTE ** & a m p ; Should be taken without the spaces.. just cause the site reads it as HTML here ** END NOTE *** Ive been trying to make a program to log into my website.. but i cannot get the following code to work.. Winsock1.SendData "POST /login.jsp?username=admin&password=adminspassword" & vbCrLf & vbCrLf then i can get the HTML from the page to do what i want etc.. but i have found that winsock is sending: & a m p ; rather than & Which botches the login procedure. Any ways of sending the string as i want it, rather than with the &: character.. i have tried storing the string into a Variable and sending that.. and also i have tried using the Chr(##) method. WOndering if anyone has overcame this minor setback in any of their applications.

Technically, & amp; is actually correct... (w3.org validators complain when you do the url as login.jsp?var1=val1&var2=val2) The real question here is why that messes up the login procedure. What I suspect is happenning, without knowing anything about C++ or WinSock, is that your data is not really getting sent via POST, since you're putting the username and password into the URL (which would make it GET). -SN
