Send HTTP-Post Request With Meta

New comment

Hi Guys

I'm Trying To Send HTTP-Post request with metatrader.

i tried to write a dll for this action but it doesn't..

when i call the request(); function in dll, the Script/Indicator Will stop working...

here is the source code

// pasargad.cpp : Defines the initialization routines for the DLL.

#include "stdafx.h"

#include "pasargad.h"

#define WIN_OS

#define _DEBUG_PRINT(X) /* X */

#include

#pragma comment( lib, "wsock32.lib" )

#define SEND_RQ(MSG) \

send(sock,MSG,strlen(MSG),0);

#ifdef _DEBUG

#define new DEBUG_NEW

#undef THIS_FILE

static char THIS_FILE[] = __FILE__;

#endif

#define MT4_EXPFUNC __declspec(dllexport)

// Note!

// If this DLL is dynamically linked against the MFC

// DLLs, any functions exported from this DLL which

// call into MFC must have the AFX_MANAGE_STATE macro

// added at the very beginning of the function.

// For example:

// extern "C" BOOL PASCAL EXPORT ExportedFunction()

// {

// AFX_MANAGE_STATE(AfxGetStaticModuleState());

// // normal function body here

// }

// It is very important that this macro appear in each

// function, prior to any calls into MFC. This means that

// it must appear as the first statement within the

// function, even before any object variable declarations

// as their constructors may generate calls into the MFC

// DLL.

// Please see MFC Technical Notes 33 and 58 for additional

// details.

AnyOne..?

Anyone can Help ?

bamdad 2007.06.05 07:56 #2

one of my friends suggested me to use cURL Library ..

i try to but i couldn't i think i have to write a DLL using cURL to send request with a single function and just use that function in meta ...

any suggestion?

I just noticed this - you looking for help on this? I have done this with the cURL library.

Here is what i use ( Visual Studio 2008 - C++ DLL )

Code:

//---- You need to add these includes at the top of your code

//---- #include

MT4_EXPFUNC int __stdcall Sample( int Whatever )

{

//---- Declare Return Value

CHAR buffer[2048] ;

CString m_strContents;

DWORD dwRead;

/* Connect to the internet */

HINTERNET hiNet = InternetOpen(

L"InetURL/1.0",

INTERNET_OPEN_TYPE_PRECONFIG,

NULL,

);

/* if connection fails throw error */

if( !hiNet ) { return( -1010 ); }

/* Connect to a site */

HINTERNET hConnection = InternetConnect(

hiNet,

L"www.yoursite.com",

INTERNET_DEFAULT_HTTP_PORT,

NULL,

INTERNET_SERVICE_HTTP,

);

/* if connetion to site failed */

if( !hConnection )

{

InternetCloseHandle(hiNet);

return( -1020 );

} // COULD NOT CONNECT TO WEBSITE

/* Get Data */

HINTERNET hData = HttpOpenRequest( hConnection, L"GET", L"/yourpage.php", NULL, NULL, NULL, INTERNET_FLAG_KEEP_CONNECTION, 0 );

if ( !hData )

{

InternetCloseHandle(hConnection);

InternetCloseHandle(hiNet);

return( -1030 ); // PAGE NOT FOUND

}

HttpSendRequest( hData, NULL, 0, NULL, 0);

bool Done = false;

while( !Done )

{

InternetReadFile( hData, buffer, 255, &dwRead );

if ( dwRead == 0 ) { Done = true; }

buffer[dwRead] = 0;

m_strContents += buffer;

}

//---- Here you can output m_strContents

MessageBox( 0, m_strContents, L"WebPage OutPut", 0 );

InternetCloseHandle(hConnection);

InternetCloseHandle(hiNet);

InternetCloseHandle(hData);

}

[/PHP]

You could use post instead of get and pass variables in your url ...

[PHP]

/* Post Data */

HINTERNET hData = HttpOpenRequest( hConnection, L"POST", L"/yourpage.php?var1=value1&var2=value2 etc ... ", NULL, NULL, NULL, INTERNET_FLAG_KEEP_CONNECTION, 0 );

Guys, there is much more simple way, you can write your request to file, then throw alert - and in metatrader properties - event tab - choose instead of wav file - your bat file, then construct bat file in the way that will read the requrest from txt file.

Simple and works allways - without any DLL's
