[kasmax]

Hi

I have vba code to access a website to send sms. this code works fine when the internet explorer has no proxy. but it never works when using internet explorer with proxy. i have tried everything but cant find a solution. the code im using is:

Dim objXMLHttp, sResponse
   Set objXMLHttp = CreateObject("MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP.6.0")
 
    UserName = "user1"
    Password = "pass1"
    strMobile = Forms!Consumers!Mobile.Value
    strMsg = "txt msg " & Forms!Consumers![FirstName].Value & " " & Forms!Consumers![LastName].Value
 
    strAPIUrl = myurl 
    objXMLHttp.setProxy "2", myproxy, "<8080>"
    objXMLHttp.Open "POST", strAPIUrl, False, UserName, Password
   objXMLHttp.setProxyCredentials "HDWA\\k1, p1"
    objXMLHttp.setRequestHeader "Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"
 
    objXMLHttp.send ("destination=" & URLEncode(strMobile) & "&text=" & URLEncode(strMsg))
 
sResponse = objXMLHttp.responseText
MsgBox sResponse

Hi,
I have had the same issues with proxy settings just today! :banghead:
Eventually I went with adding the proxy username and password to the form and then pass this into the vb. (The username can be catured using;

Set oNet = CreateObject("WScript.Network")
Me.UserName = oNet.UserName

This is the function I built on;

Function SendMessage(sUserName, sPassword, sMobileNumber, sSenderNumberorName, sMessage)
On Error GoTo SMSerr
Dim xmlhttp As Object
Set xmlhttp = New WinHttpRequest
Dim sResponse, sUN, sPW, sTO, sFR, sMESS, ProxyUser, ProxyPword
ProxyUser = [Forms]![frmSend_SMS].[ProxyUser]
ProxyPword = "name\" & [Forms]![frmSend_SMS].[ProxyPword]
sUN = URLEncode(sUserName)
sPW = URLEncode(sPassword)
sTO = URLEncode(sMobileNumber)
sFR = URLEncode(sSenderNumberorName)
sMESS = URLEncode(sMessage)
    xmlhttp.Open "GET", "[URL]http://www.textapp.net/webservice/httpservice.aspx[/URL]?", False
    xmlhttp.setRequestHeader "Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"
    xmlhttp.setProxy HTTPREQUEST_PROXYSETTING_PROXY, "servername:port", "*.textapp.net"
    xmlhttp.SetCredentials ProxyUser, ProxyPword, HTTPREQUEST_SETCREDENTIALS_FOR_SERVER
    xmlhttp.Send ("method=sendsms&returncsvstring=false " & _
                "&externallogin=" & sUN & "&password=" & sPW & _
                "&clientbillingreference=clientbillingreference" & _
                "&clientmessagereference=clientmessagereference" & _
                "&originator=" & sFR & _
                "&destinations=" & sTO & "&body=" & sMESS & "&validity=72&charactersetid=2" & _
                "&replymethodid=1&replydata=&statusnotificationurl=")
    sResponse = xmlhttp.responseText
Set xmlhttp = Nothing
SendMessage = sResponse
Exit Function
SMSerr:
MsgBox Err.Description & " / " & Err.Number
End Function

You'll also need the url encoding bit too.

Function URLEncode(strData)
Dim i, strTemp, strChar, strOut, intAsc
strTemp = Trim(strData)
For i = 1 To Len(strTemp)
strChar = Mid(strTemp, i, 1)
intAsc = Asc(strChar)
If (intAsc >= 48 And intAsc <= 57) Or _
(intAsc >= 97 And intAsc <= 122) Or _
(intAsc >= 65 And intAsc <= 90) Then
strOut = strOut & strChar
Else
strOut = strOut & "%" & Hex(intAsc)
End If
Next
URLEncode = strOut
End Function

And here's the code behind my form;

   Dim sMobileNumber1 As String
    DoCmd.SetWarnings False
    Me.Refresh
    If Len(Me.sMessage) > 160 Then
        MsgBox "Length of text message cannot exceed 160 characters.  Please adjust.", vbOKOnly, "Messaging Error"
        Forms!frmSend_SMS!sMessage.SetFocus
 
        Exit Sub
 
    End If
    If Left(Me.sMobileNumber, 1) = 0 Then
        sMobileNumber1 = 44 & Mid(Me.sMobileNumber, 2)
    End If
 
    SendMessage Me.sUserName, Me.sPassword, sMobileNumber1, Me.sSenderNumberorName, Me.sMessage
    DoCmd.OpenQuery "qrySMS-Note"
    MsgBox "Your message has been sent to " & Me.sMobileNumber & ".", vbOKOnly, "Sent"
    DoCmd.Close acForm, "frmSend_SMS", acSaveNo
    [Forms]![frmIndividual].SMSsent = "Yes"
    DoCmd.SetWarnings True

The query 'qrySMS-Note' just adds a note stating that a text has been sent.
I hope that helps you in some way, grab whatever helps!
