[Closed] Sending data to server with POST

Aug 02, 2018 6:27 am

I need to send The MACAddress to a server for licensing purposes.
I got the MACAddress using this Post.
I have tried to Convert a C# POST request to MaxScript but there are errors I can’t understand.


Req = (dotNetClass "System.Net.WebRequest").Create ("http://www.targetwebsite.com/targetlink");
Req.Method = "Post";
Req.ContentType = "Text/html";
Req.ContentLength = PostData.count;
Req.GetRequestStream().write PostData 0 PostData.count;
Res = Req.GetResponse();

Okay, I finally figured it out. here is the complete code for getting the mac address and sending it to a server with HttpPost:


--Getting the mac address
   NI = dotnetclass "System.Net.NetworkInformation.NetworkInterface";
   NI.GetIsNetworkAvailable();
   ALL = NI.GetAllNetworkInterfaces();
   MACAddress = ALL[1].GetPhysicalAddress();
   print (MACAddress.toString());
--Encoding the mac address so it is sendable
   A = (dotNetClass "System.Text.Encoding");
   PostData = "macaddress=" + MACAddress.toString();
   MData = A.ASCII.GetBytes (PostData);
--Creating the Post request
    Req = (dotNetClass "System.Net.WebRequest").Create ("http://www.targetwebsite.com/targetlink");
    Req.Method = "Post";
    Req.ContentType = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded";
    Req.ContentLength = MData.count;
--Writing the data in the request
    S = Req.GetRequestStream();
    S.write MData 0 MData.count;
    S.close();
--Sending the request and recieving the response
    Res = Req.GetResponse();
    ResStr = Res.GetResponseStream();
--Reading the respone
    objReader = dotnetobject "System.IO.StreamReader" ResStr;
    ResText = (objReader.ReadToEnd());
