UrlLoader.POST

zvardin

Ok, I've seen some old discussions on this, but I'm curious what I'm doing wrong. When using UrlLoader.POST I've only had success if on my server I check the HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA in PHP (in that instance I'm sending a json table so that's fine), but I've had no luck sending named variables to POST as discussed here: http://www.giderosmobile.com/forum/discussion/1508/post-and-get-methods

So if I send "name=Zvardin" for instance, there is no $_POST['name']. I'm wondering if @loves_oi had the same issue and thus decided to use GET in their instance. I can workaround it, but would really love to know what I'm missing.

This sounds similar to this:

You should add ["Content-Type"] = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded", to headers

as

local headers = { ["Content-Type"] = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded" }   local method = UrlLoader.POST local body = "name=Zvardin" local url = "<a href="http://www.urltosenf.com/&quot" rel="nofollow">http://www.urltosenf.com/&quot</a>; local loader = UrlLoader.new(url, method, headers, body)   local function onComplete(event) print(event.data) end   loader:addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onComplete)

Awesome, I didn't see that thread! Maybe this could be included in the UrlLoader documentation for POST responses, since I imagine this would be somewhat common desired functionality. @ar2sawseen to the rescue again!
