uploading and downloading data at the web

At IOS, it seems that the only way to send data to a server is POST command.
I undertand that I can use POST to send data to a cgi script, which could return to me some new data.
It runs at MAC OSX stacks.

THE QUESTION
When a do a POST command at IOS, where can I find the returned buffer?
At MAC OSX I can use "it" variable.

ie.
post vdata to URL vURL
put it into field myfield

Hi, I just tried it with a quick app with one button;

Code: Select all

on mouseUp
   post "apple=1" to url "http://www.splash21.com/banana.php"
   answer it
end mouseUp
It worked OK on my iPod touch - just returns a random string.
:D

Thanks very much.

But it does not work. I have checked your script copies and pasted to a button without results.

In fact, POST commands runs OK at the MAC OSX stack but they do not at Simulator IOS.

Some suggestion? Perhaps about simulator version (I've the last one)? Any problem with configuration?

Thanks

LiveCode 4.5.2 (Macbook Pro)
iOS Simulator 4.2 (235)

Works in stack, in simulator and on device (iPod touch 1st generation) :)

Not sure why it doesn't work for you :(
