Getting Metatrader to post a link?

Hey everyone, I'm trying out a new method of posting information to a website, and I'm using a special link which is generated every trade.

http://codebase.mql4.com/4428

That is the known working example that I can find. But I can't get it to work. Can anyone share a few pointers?

Thanks

Thanks for sharing the link. I think it will save me some time on my next project. What is the problem that you are experiencing?

It seems that I can't get the link to post properly. How do I...

  1. Get the code to enter the link online?
  2. Figure out any feedback from the website?

The website has a set of error codes which is shown as simple text on the webpage.

I am not sure what type of project is this, where you want to put your data from MetaTrader and what server side programming language you use. So I do not know if I can help you much with current information.

Soon I will start working on a similar project where trading signals from EA will be posted to a PHP script on a website and added to mySQL database. If you are interested I will share snippets of my PHP code.

All I need the EA to do is send the link....

The link is automatically generated by the EA and has the data embedded into it. The website is ready and able to receive the link. I just can't get the EA to post the link =D

Have the EA create the HTML as a string and send the string.
Keep it simple stoopid....

That's not the problem.

I can create the string. That's easy.

I can't send the string.

Raygun,

Are you looking for a method of "fetching" urls?
or at least sending the URL to a webserver?

If so, you might wanna take a look at FFCalendar indicator. It has a routine that fetches URLs. It is a working code, thus best to play with it than this Java dll.

i messed with the code a few months ago, i can use the get function, but i had to use ftp to send

the problem i recal, is security issues
i can get without security, but to put i get errors

i came to the conclusion that my server didnt allow it

maybe its your server's security?

As brilliant a coder as several of the newer members here on FF think I am, my coding ability is limited.

How do I send a url to the webserver? I guess it's the equivalent of typing in "www.google.com" into the address bar of a browser and pressing "enter"

The FFcal looks interesting, I'm still trying to understand the code, and that's about as far as I've gotten.

This is a nice idea to have an expert/indicator send data to a server . Attached is a DLL library that I just wrote that will let you send HTTP GET requests. Included is a sample indicator file. The DLL exports a GET function which receives one string parameter and returns the HTTP response code as int or -1 if some internal error occures:

#import "HTTPComm.dll"
int GET(string url);
#import

I believe it's pretty obvious...
