How can I send data to Server from excel using HTTP Post?

Lets say the URL is: http://testingHttpPost/

And I want to send data from Cells A2 and B2. How would I get this done in VBA?

Answer 1

Sub XMLPost()
Dim xmlhttp, sData As String

    With ActiveSheet
        sData = "x=" & URLencode(.Range("A2").Value) & _
                "&y=" & URLencode(.Range("B2").Value)
    End With

    Set xmlhttp = CreateObject("microsoft.xmlhttp")

    With xmlhttp
        .Open "POST", " http://testingHttpPost/", False
        .setrequestheader "Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"
        .send sData
        Debug.Print .responsetext
    End With
End Sub
