Only standard POST requests are allowed.  Either Content-type of '''multipart/form-data''' or '''application/x-www-form-urlencoded'''.

Each key-value pair is separated by an '&' character, and each key is separated from its value by an '=' character. Keys and values are both escaped by replacing spaces with the '+' character and then using URL encoding on all other non-alphanumeric characters.

Overview

This is a work in progress. This document describes how to submit leads directly to Netsville via an HTTP POST Request. Requests are submitted to a CGI script with Key-Value Pairs in the BODY of the request.

Request Requirements

  • POST (only)

Only standard POST requests are allowed. Either Content-type of multipart/form-data or application/x-www-form-urlencoded.

Each key-value pair is separated by an '&' character, and each key is separated from its value by an '=' character. Keys and values are both escaped by replacing spaces with the '+' character and then using URL encoding on all other non-alphanumeric characters.

URI

Here is the main URI: 

https://www.us-social-security-disability.com/admin/sendlead.php

Sample Request Body (detail with headers)

Again, note that all requests to the https://www.us-social-security-disability.com/admin/sendlead.php URL must be a valid POST request. See below for a coding example in PHP.

        'doc_yn' => "Y",
        'have_lawyer_yn' => "N",
        'is_test_lead' => "1",
);

$baseurl = "https://www.us-social-security-disability.com/admin/sendlead.php";
$userAgent = 'Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; MSIE 9.0; Windows NT 6.1; Trident/5.0)';
$timeout = 10;

$content = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
