I have a few variable that I need to post to a remote server and get the response back from. Basically, I want to get the results back a server as if I had hit the submit button in the browser on a simple page like this:

<html>
<body>
<form action="http://www.gaiamtv-qa.gaiam.com/api/s/login" method="post">
MyParameter1: <input name="MyParameter1" value="foo" /><br />
MyParameter2: <input name="MyParameter2" value="bar" /><br />

<input type="submit" />
</form>
</body>
</html>

Take a look at the http_post_from_string_with_timeout() function in the urlUtils.brs file in the videoplayer example.

Also the AsyncPostFromString() function of roURLTransfer: http://sdkdocs.roku.com/display/RokuSDK ... ingrequest

How do I format the form fields into a single string?

url="http://www.gaiamtv-qa.gaiam.com/api/s/login?MyParameter1=foo&myparameter2=bar"

or

url="http://www.gaiamtv-qa.gaiam.com/aip/s/login?myparameter1="+myparameter1+"&myparameter2="+myparameter2

xfer=createobject("roURLTransfer")
xfer.seturl(url)
asyncpostfromstring("")

Of course you would need to set up a message port and wait loop to handle the async event results, and you would probably want to xfer.urlencode(parameter) before concatenating the variables into the post string.
