I'm wondering if you really need php? It's possible to make post-requests and similar with TSocket if it's enabled on the server.

While most likely possible (I've never used TSocket or seen any examples of its usage), I think that seems overkill for doing something like a POST request, especially given that to do a GET request we don't have to request anything like sockets.

Perhaps it wouldn't be out of line to request a function similar to requesturl for post data? Maybe something like, requestpost(url, "a=1&b=2") which would handle performing the POST request for us and wouldn't require us to request sockets be enabled.

Would probably also be nice to get a url encoding function (percent/form encoding) so data is properly encoded when performing the request.

Yeah, I answered that when you mentioned it originally in another thread (when I was still writing this code).

The problem is that for it to be released on the Code Gallery, I wanted it to be as simple as possible, and code that would only work if you enabled sockets on their server didn't seem like a good solution.

Now go tweak it, since afaik TSockets are enabled on all servers by default.

I'm pretty sure of it.

I'm fairly certain of the opposite; I put in a ticket a few days ago asking for it on Era and Era Dev, and Stefan responded with a need for the IP/server and port numbers that would need to be connected to.

EDIT:

Yep
