POST from Pocket PC?

[mlepage]

What is the best way, in my game, to HTTP POST to an URL? I just need to send a single binary file, and I will get back a single number as text, which I need to check.

You should be able to use the InternetXXX functions.
I am using this in my highscore reporting system but I only use InternetOpenUrl.

I'm using a slightly different sequence of functions, but yes that's how it seems to work. You check error codes and other error information.

I haven't tested it yet when it fails, but hopefully it won't take too long to return an error code.

HttpSendRequest seems to take about 20s to fail if I opened an incorrect IP address. It seems fairly quick.

Here's a question I have.

The documentation says you can reuse a request for multiple HttpSendRequest so long as you read all the returned data.

I found that didn't work for me, so I did an HttpOpenRequest for each HttpSendRequest.

But I know it should work. I'm just unclear on exactly what must be read. The documentation is unclear, what do they mean?

It seems to be working now so I probably won't touch it till people have problems with it. It's just that in my heart I know I should be reusing a connection if I can, since it's wasteful otherwise. I just wish the docs were clearer on exactly what to do to reuse a request, instead of just hinting at it as if my name were Tantalus.
