http doesn't parse xmlhttprequest form encoded

[Andrew Oliver]

This works in ceylon:

<form action="contacts" method="POST">

<label for="name">Name:</label>

<input type="text" id="name" name="name" />

<label for="address">Address:</label>

<textarea rows="5" cols="40" id="address" name="address" ></textarea>

<label for="phone">Phone:</label>

<input type="text" id="phone" name="phone" />

<label for="email">Email:</label>

<input type="text" id="email" name="email" />

<input type="submit" name="sumbit"/>

</form>

I can do request.parameters("name") and everything works as expected...

This does not work in ceylon (But does in other languages):

<form>

<label for="frmName">Name:</label>

<input type="text" id="frmName" name="frmName" />

<label for="frmAddress">Address:</label>

<textarea rows="5" cols="40" id="frmAddress" name="frmAddress" ></textarea>

<label for="frmPhone">Phone:</label>

<input type="text" id="frmPhone" name="frmPhone" />

<label for="frmEmail">Email:</label>

<input type="text" id="frmEmail" name="frmEmail" />

<button onclick="saveContact(); return false;" >Save</button>

</form>

with associated jquery: 

var saveContact = function(){

clearNotices();

var strId = $("#frmContacts").find(":selected").val();

var strName = $("#frmName").val();

if((strName == "")||(strName.search(/\S/) == -1)){

notice("A name is required to save a new contact.");

return;

}

var strAddress = $("#frmAddress").val();

var strPhone = $("#frmPhone").val();

var strEmail = $("#frmEmail").val();

if(strId == "-1"){//new

var url = "/contacts/";

$.post(url, 

{ 'utf8':"✓", 'authenticity_token': "lJxO7oZQ460Rw3+4bk/aO9kpKhdO3+bUFmt+cByPsC8=", 

'contact[name]': strName, 'contact[address]': strAddress,

'contact[phone]': strPhone, 'contact[email]': strEmail },

function(data){

retrieveContactList();

});

}else{//update

var url = "/contacts/"+strId;

$.post(url, 

{ 'utf8':"✓", '_method':'put', 'authenticity_token': "lJxO7oZQ460Rw3+4bk/aO9kpKhdO3+bUFmt+cByPsC8=", 

'contact[name]': strName, 'contact[address]': strAddress,

'contact[phone]': strPhone, 'contact[email]': strEmail },

function(data){

retrieveContactList();

});

}

}

(replacing the request.parameters("bla") with the correct key values on the ceylon side of course)

it seems to not like the form encoding with xmlhttp request. When I debug into RequestImpl the formData is blank.  Can anyone else confirm?

Thanks,

Andy

True, there is a bug detecting content-type, if there is also encoding present.

it should work if you set content type to:
application/x-www-form-urlencoded;

instead of default one:
application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=utf-8


Fixed in master.

Matej.

I fixed it before I read this....  

line 160 in RequestImpl.ceylon

                if (contentType.startsWith(applicationXWwwFormUrlEncoded) || contentType.startsWith(multiparFormData)) {

I also figured out how to build the sdk (or the parts I need to) on (Ubuntu) Linux via the ide (recorded for the record aka google):

change build.properties

"

sdk.version=0.5

module.ceylon.language.version=0.5

module.com.redhat.ceylon.compiler.version=0.5

dist.repo.dir=/usr/share/ceylon/repo

dist.libs.dir=/usr/share/ceylon/lib

  

ceylon.ant.lib=${dist.libs.dir}/ceylon-ant.jar

ceylon.executable=/usr/share/ceylon/0.5/bin/ceylon

"

right click on build.xml in the sdk project 

run as...

add this crap to the classpath (click external jars, everything in /usr/share/ceylon/{version}/lib)

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/1368565/ceylon/buildtasks.png

then  rm -rf ~/.ceylon/repo/ceylon/net/0.5.2

run build targets clean,compile.publish 

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/1368565/ceylon/targets.png

It is possible not all of the above steps are necessary but it works for me.

Any chance of getting this into a module release by Thursday?  It might eliminate a small amount of confusion when I publish the article with the example ;-)
