ph_posturlviaproxy1

Argument	Description
as_url	String. The URL whose HTML you wish to retrieve.
as_headers	String (Optional). Additional HTTP headers you would like to be sent as part of the request. Specify headers in the same format that would be used for structuring a valid HTTP request. Separate multiple headers with either a carriage return / linefeed pair or a linefeed (use the same separator for ALL the headers). An example header may look like: "Accept-Type: text/html~r~nPragma: no-cache". If this parameter is omitted, an empty string "" will be used
as_postdata	String. The data to post to the URL
as_proxy	String. The proxy server the request will made through.
al_proxyport	Long. The proxy server port
as_authorization	String. The userid and password for the proxy server. Separate the userid from the password using a colon character. Example: userid:password.
ai_type	Integer. The method in which to post the data. A type value of 0 will post the data using a raw socket control with the data appropriately structured. Any other value will post the data using a Catalyst HTTP control.
ai_timeouot	Integer. The max length of time in seconds to wait for the HTML before the function times out.

Most of the time, the ph_geturlviaproxy or ph_geturlviaproxy1 function is all that is needed in order to retrieve raw HTML from a website through a proxy server.. This is accomplished via an HTTP GET command. Some websites though, for whatever reason, don't support an HTTP GET and instead require an HTTP POST. This function allows you to retrieve data from these websites. A very good explanation of the differences between POST and GET can be found here: http://www.w3schools.com/tags/ref_httpmethods.asp

ph_posturlviaproxy1("http://www.weatherunderground.com","Host: power-home.com","192.168.0.150",80,"userid:password",1,5)
The above example will retrieve the raw HTML for the weatherundergound.com website using an HTTP Catalyst control. The function will timeout in 5 seconds if the result hasnt been returned by then.
