Easy Way to Fill in and Submit an HTML Form

[Rea Berryman]

Our company has put our timesheets on the intranet. I'm hoping to find a way
to fill it in from a Delphi app so I can save myself a lot of data entry.

Any ideas on where I can get started?

Thanks,
Rea

Use an HTTP component to post the data to the form.

To get web pages generated by POST you will have to use HTTP headers.
One of the simplest way is to use the Clever Internet Suite.
The programming interface of Clever Internet Suite was specially designed
for such kind of tasks.
To do so you should simple fill the component's header info and run request.
...
Uploader: TclUploader;
...
Uploader.UseHTTPHeaders := True; //activates the http POST request
Uploader.UseSimpleRequest := True; //request headers might contain objects
Uploader.HTTPHeaders.AddTextData('instance=blinmult&startDate=10/10/2002&cb_
submit=Submit');
Uploader.Start(False); //this method starts the request, False for In-Sync,
True for Async
//If this parameter is TRUE, after calling the control is returned
immediately.

After process done you can get server response from Uploader.ServerResponse
property.
This property contains an HTML page generated by server.
Please see the 'Simulate a Web Form POST Request' article at
