asUrl retrieveContents -> with POST vars

i know i have done this before, and it's totally escaping me..

i am also not sure if this is the place to ask generic smalltalk
questions, so if it's not, please someone let me know..

doing something like:

url := 'http://domain/?var1=one&var2=two"

url asUrl retrieveContents contents.

BUT!

i would like to send the vars as POST vars. can i do that with retrieveContents?

thanks!

Administrator

Browsing Url I found #postFormArgs:.

Checking the code for #retrieveContents, and tracing the execution, I ended up at #retrieveContentsArgs:accept:, which calls HTTPSocket class>>httpGetDocument:args:accept:request:

Contrast to #postFormArgs:, which calls HTTPSocket class>>httpPostDocument:args:accept:request:

The magic of Smalltalk tools!

HTH,

Or you could do this, which is a more explicit API, with more object oriented computing going on behind the scenes:

ZnHttpClient new
url: 'http://localhost:1701/echo/foo';
parameterAt: 'foo' put: 'bar';
parameterAt: 'baz' put: 'bang';
post.

PS: For this you need an extra install:

Gofer it
squeaksource: 'ZincHTTPComponents';
package: 'Zinc-HTTP';
package: 'Zinc-Tests';
load
