MaxURL / post_data - how to send a simple string?
Hello,
I'm facing an issue using MaxURL.
What I need to receive on the server is this type of string
“Pippo Pluto Q=0.1 L=25”
First I tried the Post command, but it consider arguments as pair of key & value
post https://server.com/sad23423d Pippo Pluto Q=0.1 L=25
so what I receive on server side is this
{“Pippo”:”Pluto”,”Q”:”0.1=L=25"}
Then I tried to use a dictionary and send it as post_data
{
"http_method" : "post",
"url" : "https://server.com/sad23423d”,
"post_data" : "Pippo Pluto Q=0.1 L=25",
}
but what I receive on server side is a bit better but still got brackets, quotes and is split in 2
{"Pippo Pluto Q":"0.1 L=25"}
So I tried URL formatting as post_data
{
"http_method" : "post",
"url" : "https://server.com/sad23423d”,
"post_data" : "Pippo%20Pluto%20Q%3D0.1%20L%3D25",
}
what I receive is also a bit better but still got brackets, quotes and is split in 2 with one blank field
{"Pippo Pluto Q=0.1 L=25":""}
...
So in short how to get just a simple string with spaces sent over MaxURL?
Seems like your server treats the data as json regardless of its formatting.
Try to add "headers" : [ "Content-Type: text/plain" ] in your request:
{
"http_method" : "post",
"url" : "https://server.com/sad23423d”,
"headers" : ["Content-Type: text/plain"],
"post_data" : "Pippo Pluto Q=0.1 L=25"
}TFL you saved my day, that makes it!
I tried also adding headers, but didn't work
Honestly I just copy pasted from maxurl help, as I'm not much aware of this web dungeons
A huge thank you !!
