WebRequest - using 2nd type of the function
Hello fellow traders/developers.
I've found WebRequest function in the reference doc [1]. According to the doc there are 2 types of the function but I'm not able to convinced mql compiler to use the 2nd one.
My intention is to send HTTP POST request to my json web service. Hence I'd obviously need to change corresponding content type in the request header to 'Content-Type: application/json'. Whilst this is not possible to do with 1st type of WebRequest,it should be possible with 2nd type. Hovewer I'm not able to compile my code. Event the sample provided in the doc is wrong and could not be compiled.
Compilation of: res=WebRequest("POST","https://www.mql5.com/en/auth_login",NULL,0,data,data,str); giving me this error [2] :
Does anyody have any idea how one could use advertised 2nd type WebRequest function call?

What is your MT4 build ?
I've got MT4 version 4.0 build 765
Bug in build 765. It works on build 769.
It helped. Currently I have got build 777 and WebRequest with POST method and json content works perfectly.
Merci angevoyageur

In MT4, go to open a new account in the file menu. When it brings up a list of servers, click to add a new server and just type in metaquotes. It will then scan for and find the metaquotes demo server. Open a new demo account and log in.
Keep an eye on the journal tab and you should see something like "new version available". It will then begin to download in the background. It may take a while to download. Just keep watching the "connection" area at the bottom right, you'll see it downloading as the Kb counter ticks away. I can't remember if it tells you that it's finished downloading or not.
Once it has finished, shut down MT4 and restart. It should then begin updating itself (will take around 10 seconds to start). You can confirm you have the new version by checking the journal (you'll see the update process) and finally, by clicking help-> about.
