[Slogger] SOLVED: How to submit to custom CGI script (was: Re: Feature request: submit to custom script)

[Robin Smidsrød]

Thanks a lot for the quick reply. What it ended up with was this:

//Build ISO date string
var timestamp=sloggerGetVar("year") + '-'
+ sloggerGetVar("month") + '-'
+ sloggerGetVar("day") + 'T'
+ sloggerGetVar("hour") + ':'
+ sloggerGetVar("minute") + ':'
+ sloggerGetVar("second") + '.'
+ sloggerGetVar("millisecond");

// Build URL
var url = "http://xxx/cgi/slogger_recv.cgi?";
url += "username=xxx&";
url += "password=xxx&";
url += "machine=office&"; // or laptop, or living room, or whatever...
url += "timestamp=" + encodeURI(timestamp) + "&";
url += "url=" + encodeURI(sloggerGetVar("url")) + "&";
url += "title=" + encodeURI(sloggerGetVar("title")) + "&";

// Report URL
//alert(url);

var req = new XMLHttpRequest();
req.open('GET', url, true);
req.send(null);

This works as a charm, and is exactly what I was looking for. Now I just 
need to program that receiver CGI program. If any of you want this, give 
me a note.

Thanks for the help.
