Postman 2 Mojo

[Pierre Pannetier]

Hi

I'm trying to post 2 files to an API build with Mojo, testing it with Postman

Well doing this, the only way i found to get files content is to split $string with regular expressions

my $asset = $self->req->content->asset;
my $string=$asset->slurp;

I tried Mojo::Upload; without success.

Anybody could drive me to get each file content without playing with regular expressions ?

Many thx.

To make sure I understand you correctly: Do you have the byte stream of
the file in $string as a single string, as using
Mojo::Asset::Memory::slurp() would suggest?

If so, splitting it on line ends to get an array of lines as in

@lines = split(/\n/, $string);

is indeed the way this is meant to be done (and not really what I'd call
playing with regexps).

Actually this what i have from the $asset->slurp;

------WebKitFormBoundary2jXzI9WLBRoANocy
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="text"; filename="test.json"
Content-Type: application/octet-stream

  {
JSON
  }
------WebKitFormBoundary2jXzI9WLBRoANocy
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="filepdf"; filename="test(2).PDF"
Content-Type: application/pdf

%PDF-1.4
...pdf data....
%%EOF

So in the case i have to split et manage to get the files content using regexps.

But i'm wondering it is possible to get this through something like

my $pdfdata = $self->param('filepdf');
my $jsondata = $self->param('text');

The "param" method of your Mojolicious::Controller object should work [1] for accessing your POSTed files, but you can also try retrieving the files directly from the Mojo::Message object [2] inside your controller;

# assuming '$self' isa Mojolicious::Controller object...

my $pdfdata = $self->req->upload('filepdf');

my $jsondata = $self->req->upload('text');

The above syntax is working for me uploading single files from iOS (NSURLConnection) into Mojolicious.  There's also a small mention of uploads in the Mojolicious Tutorial [3].

Thanks,

Brian

Hi Brian ,

Thanks for your answer, i tried it, but this returns empty values for me.

my $pdfdata = $self->req->upload('filepdf');
my $jsondata = $self->req->upload('text');

print "JSONDATA:".$jsondata."\n";
print "PDFDATA:".$pdfdata."\n";

Use of uninitialized value $jsondata in concatenation (.) or string at ./test.pl line 645.
JSONDATA:
Use of uninitialized value $pdfdata in concatenation (.) or string at ./test.pl line 646.
PDFDATA:

I'm still wondering why...

Maybe create a small demo Mojolicious::Lite app that demonstrates your problem, so that others can test it with Postman as well?

FWIW, it took me a while to format the POST message correctly before Mojolicious would decode it.

Thanks,

Brian
