[jplatform] Post parameter in JInput

[Stefan Neculai]

Hi,

I have a problem with JInput.

I am doing curl -d "_method=PUT" ws.localhost/content and when I try to take the _method ( code is at [1] ) that parameter is empty. Although, it works with curl -d "" ws.localhost/content?_method=PUT. 

To me, it looks like JInput doesn't process the post parameters. I would appreciate any help on this problem.

You retrieve the _method with

$this->input->get->getWord('_method'))

So: you try to retrieve it from the $_GET superglobal
which is always empty when you are using a POST...

Hey,

Oh.. I should use $this->input->post ?

correction: which is not always empty when using a POST, but only has a value when used in the URL, as in your other example

Or just leave ->post away; just read it from $this->input in general

Have anyone been thinking about support of non-emulated PUT and DELETE
methods by JInput? would it make sense at all?

seems that RESTful routes could be handled by proper JRouter rules,
but at the moment you have to include a shim for these methods.
