HTTP Wizard ActiveX v3
Seekford Solutions, Inc.'s HTTP Wizard +SSL v3.0 provides programmers and easy
to use and high level access of HTTP servers(web servers) .
The control works in any ActiveX container and has no dependencies other than
itself*. With the new Asynchronous operation and the threaded synchronous
version, your application should never hang. This new version provides
basic support for communicating via SSL so your data transmissions can be
secure and safe as well as normal cleartext operations.
The control is very programmer friendly and even has time saving features like
auto-connect and disconnect for methods and simple to use method calls like the
EasyFileUpload method. Everything is spelled out and explained in
the langauge of the controls design but it also comes with a linked help file
for more detailed explanations.
One of the great features of the control is the ability to POST forms to web
sites . This allows you to register users on your custom scripted
page, or upload files to your site or even send data so your website can update
a database. The possibilities are endless and HTTP Wizard SSL v3.0 makes it
easy and possible.

The object structure is very well defined and easy to use.
HTTP, or Hyper Text Transfer Protocol, is used for the communication between a
client and a server that allows the client to access resources on the server
with a defined behavior for the communication. There are different commands
that can be issued to the server for processing, and each command elicits a
different behavior.
With one line of code, you can upload a file to any URI. It is also easy using
the FormBuilder object to create a Form's information and POST it to the server
for processing.
HTTP Wizard SSL makes this process easy and allows a developer to take full
control of the power of HTTP.
This control works with any ActiveX container such as Delphi, Visual Basic,
Visual FoxPro, Visual C++, and more and even works in ActiveX scriptable
languages such as VBScript. You can also use this in your HMI
applications like Cimplicity or RSView.
