how to post a http request from command line
Create a .vbs file containing:
' Set your settings
strFileURL = "http://localhost/index.aspx"
strHDLocation = "stream.temp"
' Fetch the file
Set objXMLHTTP = CreateObject("MSXML2.XMLHTTP")
objXMLHTTP.open "GET", strFileURL, false
objXMLHTTP.send()
If objXMLHTTP.Status = 200 Then
Set objADOStream = CreateObject("ADODB.Stream")
objADOStream.Open
objADOStream.Type = 1 'adTypeBinary
objADOStream.Write objXMLHTTP.ResponseBody
objADOStream.Position = 0 'Set the stream position to the start
Set objFSO = Createobject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
If objFSO.Fileexists(strHDLocation) Then objFSO.DeleteFile strHDLocation
objADOStream.SaveToFile strHDLocation
objADOStream.Close
Set objADOStream = Nothing
End if
Set objXMLHTTP = Nothing
' Delete the temp file
objFSO.DeleteFile strHDLocation
Set objFSO = Nothing
Then execute using:
cscript.exe scriptname.vbs
telnet on port 80
For example:
telnet www.your-server.com/pageToTest.aspx 80
then type GET
