_search with Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded

[Andrew Guselnikov]

Hello, 

I'm stuck with the following case. 

I'm trying to search for Patients with help of POST request

POST [Base]/Patient/_search

Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded

Request Body

1.  name: "Lara"

As a result I'm getting all possible patients. Seems like parameters in request body are just ignored. 

Btw when these parameters are used in the URL POST [Base]/Patient/_search?name=Lara - correct result is returned.

There are many search examples here and most use GET requests:

https://www.hl7.org/fhir/search.html#Introduction

This GET request works for me and returns 38 results:

Is there any reason why you cannot use a GET request?

Thanks,

Kevin

I could not expose search parameters as URL params and found that spec allows to use POST with  seach params as a body and a  Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded 

https://www.hl7.org/fhir/http.html#search 

but when using HAPI  results were as I described in my initial post

OK, in that case, I have used this POST Request and it also returns 38 results:

POST https://try.smilecdr.com/baseR4/Patient/_search

HEADER:

Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded

BODY:

name=Peter

I have not tried this on a HAPI-FHIR Server though...

Thank you Kevin.

Possibly this is because of my version of HAPI  - I'm using 5.4. Will try on the latest one. 

Thanks,

Andrew
