Sending a POST

[Dean]

Thanks for this utility. It has a lot of promise. However, I'm
having trouble making it respond to an invocation.

What I *can* do:
- GET using positional query params. For example:
http://172.18.1.115:8080/jsonrpc/jsonrpc?method=createUser&params=[%22Dean%22]
produces
{"result":"Dean","jsonrpc":"2.0"}

What I *can't* do:
- POST using a JSON file. For example, the file test.json contains:
{"jsonrpc": "2.0","method": "createUser","params":["Dean"]}
I use the following cURL:
curl -v http://localhost:8080/jsonrpc/jsonrpc -d @test.json -H
"Content-Type: application/json"

With expose_methods= true, I get:
{"result":{"method":
[{"static":false,"name":"createUser","class":"com.telespree.mbod.jsonrpc.Meter","params":
["java.lang.String"],"returns":"java.lang.String"},
{"static":false,"name":"listrpcmethods","class":"org.jpoxy.RPC","params":
[],"returns":"org.json.JSONObject"}]},"jsonrpc":"2.0"}

Which appears to be a failure condition.

I tried different things, like changing test.json, removing the curl -
H flag (default is www-url-encoded), etc. The only way it appears to
work is from a browser using a query string.

Any advice is appreciated.

Thanks.

Hey Dean, 

Thanks for the great idea! I've added the ability to process a json file upload as a command in the 1.0.19 release I uploaded a minute ago. 

I had to add two more dependencies, both from apache commons:

• commons-fileupload
• commons-io

Right now it checks for file uploads in POST requests which have a Content-Type of multipart (the unit test I wrote uses multipart/form-data). If at least 1 upload is found it attempts to parse the contests of the file as a string.

Let me know if this isn't what you had in mind.

Thanks,

-Wes

Thanks Wes. It was truly amazing that I didn't need to change even
one line of code for this to happen. My development test seemed to
work. When I'm ready to send an RPC call from a remote process, I
will let you know if that worked as well.

I added the two new dependencies and used the command:

curl -v http://172.18.1.115:8080/jsonrpc/jsonrpc -F
"file=@test.json;type=application/json"

and received this response:
