    <p>I am having a VBScript which gets invoked from a 3rd party application, the script gets the data from the 3rd party application and opens the URL in an IE browser by passing the data in POST format. The script works fine when I use http as the protocol but the moment I use https, the server side code (request.getParameter("param1")) complains that it is not able to find the parameter in the request object. The script is called by passing the URL and the data. e.g. run.vbs <a href="https://xyz.com?param1=1234" rel="nofollow">https://xyz.com?param1=1234</a>. Following is the vbscript for your kind perusal. Can you please let me know what I am missing when I am using https as the protocol. Any help is highly appreciated. Many thanks.</p> <pre><code>If WScript.Arguments.Count = 1 Then uri = WScript.Arguments.Item(0) 'WScript.Echo "Arguments " &amp; uri Set WshNetwork = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Network") 'WScript.Echo "Current User Name: " &amp; WshNetwork.UserName filename="C:\Documents and Settings\"+WshNetwork.UserName+"\Application Data\XYZ\Profiles\default\Settings.xml" 'WScript.Echo "Current User fileName: " &amp; filename Set xmlDoc = CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM") xmlDoc.Async = "False" xmlDoc.Load(filename) strQuery = "Agent" Set colItem = xmlDoc.getElementsByTagname(strQuery) For Each objItem in colItem Agentid = objItem.getAttribute("Login") 'MsgBox "AgentId = " + AgentID Next 'uri = uri+"^&amp;agentid="+Agentid uri = uri+"&amp;agentid="+Agentid pos = InStr(uri,"?") extracteduri = Mid(uri,1,pos-1) params = Mid(uri, pos+1) postdata = Str2Bytes(params,"us-ascii") header = "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" Set IE = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application") 'IE.Navigate "about:blank" 'IE.AddressBar = True 'IE.ToolBar = True 'IE.StatusBar = True IE.Visible = True 'WScript.Sleep 2000 Set shl = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell") shl.SendKeys "% X" IE.Navigate extracteduri, Nothing, Nothing, postdata, header Wscript.Quit Else Wscript.Echo "Usage: RunURL.vbs &lt;URL to invoke&gt;" Wscript.Quit End If Function Str2Bytes(Text, CharSet) Const adTypeText = 2 Const adTypeBinary = 1 'Create Stream object Dim BinaryStream 'As New Stream Set BinaryStream = CreateObject("ADODB.Stream") 'Specify stream type - we want To save text/string data.

    2. COYou should encode the parameter *values*, not the entire parameter string. Since the string decodes to `uui=U1=123456&agentid=123456`, it should probably be encoded like this: `uui=U1%3D123456&agentid=123456`. And I still don't see a parameter `param1` in your parameter string.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
