Communicate with Internet Explorer's JavaScript console using VBA within Excel

I'm encountering an issue when trying to send a basic http post request. While it functions perfectly when sent via ajax in the Internet Explorer console, I'm running into difficulties when attempting to do so in VBA. After some investigation, I've discovered that the problem lies with the proxy server of my current workplace restricting unauthorized internet access. This is why my VBA script is being blocked, yet everything runs smoothly in Internet Explorer. Is there a way for me to bypass this restriction by directly inputting into the Internet Explorer Console and sending the http post request using ajax?

I appreciate any assistance with this matter!

Answer №1

not intended as a direct response

this information is extracted from the object browser

navigate method within the InternetExplorer object

Sub Navigate(URL As String, [Flags], [TargetFrameName], [PostData], [Headers])
Member of SHDocVw.InternetExplorer
Initiates navigation to a URL or file.

perhaps this object can be utilized 

CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")

according to the Microsoft site, the method used can be either POST if data is in the PostData argument, or GET if not

PS: the Original Poster discovered this technique that resolved the issue with AJAX calls, as noted by the OP

IE.document.parentWindow.execScript("javascript_code()", "JavaScript")

here's a fast sample...

IE.Document.parentWindow.execScript "alert('Arbitrary javascript code')", "javascript"
