simple example for a simple man?

Hey all, I've been trying to go through the various materials available,
but I'm having a hard time finding a simple example of the kind of thing
I want to do with seaside, at least as a helloworld project, which is
basically POST arbitrary data to an arbitrary url. I can find plenty of
examples of GUI-related stuff, but not much that shows how to create and
use a simple instance of the HTTP request stuff.


If there's some easy example I've missed, or a mailing list entry that I
haven't found with  googling    site:lists.squeakfoundation.org, I'd
much appreciate a pointer or 3.

Thanks

Lawson

If you're using VisualWorks,

(HttpRequest post: 'http://mydomain.com/post-handler.php')
   formData: (Array with: 'hello' -> 'world');
   execute

AH thanks, definitely at my level, but I'm using pharo/squeak...

If you're trying to create an outgoing HTTP connection, Seaside
doesn't deal with that directly. In Squeak, you could use HTTPSocket
(see class-side methods such as #httpPost:args:accept:). I don't love
the implementation, though, and you might also want to look at the
Curl plugin if your needs are at all complex.

The Seaside GUI bit I presume you can easily pick up in Seaside
tutorials (the book) or whatever.

Making POSTs from Squeak can be done using various means - Curl (you
need the plugin though) and HTTPSocket (old "standard" stuff) probably
all can do it - but you also have HttpClient:

http://map.squeak.org/packagebyname/httpclient

I have used that package to build a rather advanced HTTP robot for a
customer and it does POSTS etc quite handily - even through HTTPS using
stunnel as a relay.

Aha! But the SqueakMap cache has it, so installing/downloading using the
SqueakMap Package Loader should work. Otherwise, download this URL
(lesser known SM trick) and rename to proper filename:

http://map.squeak.org/packagebyname/httpclient/autoversion/1/cache

PS. I might have some patches for it in that project I built... Ask for
them and I can dig. :)
