Function

ARSubmitPost(url, destfile, parameters, options)

send an HTTP POST request

url - string web URL of the request

destfile - string file in which to save results of the HTTP request

parameters - table table of key-value parameters to include with the request

options - table table of additional options accepted by ARDownloadFile

Code

This convenience function for HTTP GET requests allows you to supply the request parameters as a table of key-value pairs. It calls ARDownloadParamString to urlencode and concatenate the parameters and then includes them in the post parameter of the options table passed to ARDownloadFile (which in turn includes them in the body of the HTTP request)

function ARSubmitPost(url, dest, params, options)
   if not options then
      options = {};
   end
   options.post=ARDownloadParamString(params);
   ARDownloadFile(url,dest,options);
end
