Constructing http post url parameters (from Forum Nokia wiki)

 

This article shows how to send parameters along with the URL in an http post.

Consider that a Web server needs some parameters for e.g.

 
// Url for post request.
_ Lit8 (kposturi, "http://mysite.net/test/update ");
 

The following parameters need to be posted to the above URL, username/password

 
_ Lit8 (kpostparamname1, "username ");
_ Lit8 (kpostparamname2, "password ");
 

This can be done using the HTTP client with form encoder using class chttpformencoder

 
// Construction
Iformencoder = chttpformencoder: newl ();
 

In the POST request:

Void chttpexampleengine: postrequestl (const tdesc & ausername, const tdesc & apassword)
{
Tbuf8 <50> itemp;
Tbuf8 <50> itemp2;
 
Itemp. Copy (ausername );
Itemp2.copy (kpostparamname1 );
Iformencoder-> addfieldl (itemp2, itemp );
 
Itemp. Copy (apassword );
Itemp2.copy (kpostparamname2 );
Iformencoder-> addfieldl (itemp2, itemp );
 
....
....
 
Itransaction. Request (). setbody (* iformencoder );
Itransaction. submitl ();
}
 

Remember the following:

 _ lit8 (kuseragent, "httpexample (1.0 )"); // name of this client app 
 _ lit8 (kaccept, "text/*"); // accept any (but only) text content 
 _ lit8 (kpostparamname1, "username"); // name of the parameter in a POST request 
 _ lit8 (kpostparamname2, "password"); 
 _ lit8 (kpostcontenttype, "text/*"); // content type sent in a POST request 
 _ lit8 (kcontenttypeform, "application/X-WWW-form-urlencoded/0 ");
