I'd like to be able to send an HTTP POST request with some parameters to a specific URL.
I'm actually not sure where to start - searching didn't seem to turn up anything concrete.

I understand I have options such as cURL, SteamTools or even Sockets, but what's the easiest way to accomplish this?

Sorry, I gave the wrong answer. I'm not sure about POST.

Where exactly are you sending the request?

I'm not trying to do this at all. I'm trying to work with an API that requires you to send an HTTP POST request along with some parameters (such as SteamID64 for example).

SteamTools is the simplest.

PHP Code:

SendRequest() {
    new HTTPRequestHandle:request = Steam_CreateHTTPRequest(HTTPMethod_POST, "http://www.example.com"); // Create the HTTP request
    Steam_SetHTTPRequestGetOrPostParameter(request, "herp", "derp"); // Set post param "herp" value to "derp"
    Steam_SendHTTPRequest(request, OnRequestComplete); // Send the request
}

public OnRequestComplete(HTTPRequestHandle:request, bool:successful, HTTPStatusCode:status) {
    decl String:response[1024];
    Steam_GetHTTPResponseBodyData(request, response, sizeof(response)); // Get the response from the server
    Steam_ReleaseHTTPRequest(request); // Close the handle
}

Thanks so much! I was fiddling with Sockets just now but this does seem a lot more straightforward. And if I have multiple parameters, I'd just need to add a few more of

PHP Code:

Steam_SetHTTPRequestGetOrPostParameter(request, "herp", "derp"); // Set post param "herp" value to "derp" 


right?

Correct.

How to do this without steamtools?

[Dr. Greg House]

With the sockets, curl, or your own self written extension.
