ZnClient: how to emulate a curl command

Hi,

I'm prototyping some integration between Fossil and Pharo for the
creation of dynamic distributed web sites [1]. Now I would like to send
some messages to store serialized STON domain objects as Fossil wiki
pages. The command that makes this, using curl, is:

curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"authToken": "mytoken",
"payload": {"name": "foo", "content": "bar"}}'
http://localhost:8081/json/wiki/create

and I thought that a similar command would be the one at [2], but there
is something about ZnEntity that I'm not understanding.

How can I replicate the curl command using ZnClient?

Thanks,

That [2] looks about right to me. Though the URL is strange (the json part). What do you get as response ? Maybe the authentication just fails. Or you made some other mistake ?

I would personally never write JSON manually, but like this:

STONJSON toString: { #authToken->'foo'. #payLoad->({ #name->'test'. #content->'something' } asDictionary) } asDictionary.

Or this:

(NeoJSONObject new authToken: 'foo'; payLoad: (NeoJSONObject new name: 'test'; content: 'something')) asString.

Different styles/frameworks, same result.

Re: ZnClient: how to emulate a curl command

Hi Sven,

I was making a silly mistake in the server URL. I just forgot the extra
"/" after servers port number, so it was "8081/json" instead of
"8081json". I imagine that maybe is a test for validating properly form
urls, but also I will have a more trained eye for such errors next time.
Now is working properly. The code at [1], shows the fix and includes the
ZnEasy convenience.
