[Seaside] Rest and POST method

[Olivier Auverlot]

Hi Philippe,

I work with the Seaside One-Click image and the HTTP server is Comanche.

*******************************************************
First test: with form data
*******************************************************

-- the postForm method --------------------------------

postForm
<POST>
<Consumes: 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'>
<Path: '/postform'>

     Transcript show: self requestContext request postFields.

-- REQUEST --------------------------------

POST /MonAppRest/postform HTTP/1.1
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded

user=olivier&id=23

-- RESPONSE --------------------------------

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Date: Tue, 05 Apr 2011 07:13:01 GMT
Connection: close
Server: KomHttpServer/7.1.3 (Mac OS)
Content-Type: text/html
Content-Length: 0

-- Result  --------------------------------
a WARequestFields('id'->'23' 'user'->'olivier')

*******************************************************
Second test: with XML data
*******************************************************

-- the postXML method --------------------------------

postXML
     "detection de l'envoi de données XML"
<POST>
<Consumes: 'text/xml'>
<Path: '/postxml'>

     self requestContext inspect.

     Transcript show: 'postXML'.

-- REQUEST --------------------------------

POST /MonAppRest/postxml HTTP/1.1
Content-Type: text/xml; charset=utf-8

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<agent>
<nom>auverlot</nom>
</agent>

-- RESPONSE --------------------------------

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Date: Tue, 05 Apr 2011 07:08:01 GMT
Connection: close
Server: KomHttpServer/7.1.3 (Mac OS)
Content-Type: text/html
Content-Length: 0

-- Result  --------------------------------
a WARequestFields()

WARequestFields is empty but it seems logical because that is not a form 
that is submited. I tried to read data thru rawBody but it is empty also.

For my project, I need to exchange XML data and probably LDIF data. If 
there are no solutions, I will be forced to use another programming 
solution (perl or java) :-( D'OH!!!.

Do you think that it's possible to implement a mecanism to access of the 
body of a request send with a POST method ?

Thank for your help.

Best regards
Olivier ;-)
