LLRequestHandler and POST request

Roberto Di Gisi

Hi, I have problem on trying to make a POST request to a custom LLRequestHandler, I have no problems with GET requests.

SCENARIO 1 (form-data encoded as application/x-www-form-urlencoded)

The form:

<form action="`url`?func=timetracker.addReport" method="post" class="form-inline" role="form">  <div class="form-group">    <input name="comment" type="text" class="form-control" id="comment">  </div>  <button type="submit" class="btn btn-default">Submit</button>​</form>

And this is my LLRequestHandler (at the moment is doing nothing):

package TIMETRACKER::TimeTrackerHandlerpublic object addReport inherits TIMETRACKER::TimeTrackerLLRequestHandler    override    Boolean    fEnabled = TRUE    override    List    fAllowedMethods = { 'GET', 'POST' }    override function Dynamic Execute(Dynamic ctxIn, Dynamic ctxOut, Record request )            Object        prgCtx    = .PrgSession()            return Undefined        end       end

When I submit the form in the CSIDE console I see the following.:

08:40:01,863 INFO  Thu Jan 28 08:40:01 2016 - 56030455    Func='?'    Timing:    0.057 0.057 0.057

SCENARIO 2 (form-data encoded as text/plain)

The form:

<form action="`url`?func=timetracker.addReport" method="post" class="form-inline" role="form" enctype="text/plain">  <div class="form-group">    <input name="comment" type="text" class="form-control" id="comment">  </div>  <button type="submit" class="btn btn-default">Submit</button>​</form>

And this is my LLRequestHandler (at the moment is doing nothing):

package TIMETRACKER::TimeTrackerHandlerpublic object addReport inherits TIMETRACKER::TimeTrackerLLRequestHandler    override    Boolean    fEnabled = TRUE    override    List    fAllowedMethods = { 'GET', 'POST' }    override function Dynamic Execute(Dynamic ctxIn, Dynamic ctxOut, Record request )            Object        prgCtx    = .PrgSession()            return Undefined        end       end

When I submit the form in the CSIDE console I see the following:

09:02:01,096 INFO  Thu Jan 28 09:02:01 2016 - 736321    Func='timetracker.addReport'    Timing:    5.739 5.739 5.740

In this case it reach the breackpoint inside the Execute() but I don't see the payload of my post in the "request" parameter.

 

Anyone knows what I'm doing wrong?

Hi Roberto,
you should try to move your func parameter to an html hidden field, you can't specified it in the action attribute of the form tag if you want to send a post request.
<form ...>
<input type="hidden" name="func" value="timetracker.addReport" />

Kind regards,

Patrick

Ciao Roberto,

devi spostare la dichiarazione del parametro func dall'attributo action della form ad un campo input di tipo hidden. Questo dovrebbe risolvere il tuo problema.

A presto

Ciao

Patrick
