Vert.x HttpClient - how to put parameters to POST ?

[Christoph Bittmann]

Hi,

I need to put parameters to the POST-Request with HttpClient / HttpClientRequest - but how to do this?

Vert.X Pseudocode:

httpClientRequest = client.post(path, handler);

httpClientRequest.putParameter("Authorization", "foo:foo");

Servlet Code to read the params from the Request:

private List<String> getParams(final org.jboss.resteasy.spi.HttpRequest request) {

final MultivaluedMap<String, String> params = request.getDecodedFormParameters();
.... }

Example in HTML of what I want to do with vert.x:

<form name="token-authorization" action="http://localhost:8080/mobil/rest/dsplogin/login" method=POST>

<input type="hidden" name="Authorization" value="foo:foo"/>

<button type="submit">login</button>

</form>

--> this request look like this:

There is no such thing in HTTP as "parameters" in a POST request. A POST body is just a blob of data.

I think what you're really asking is how do I create a POST body which is encoded like a form would be when submitted from a browser.

There's an example of that in the test suite (see HttpTest)

I agree, this is what I asking for :)

Could you please post the peace of source code that do this? I didn't found this in the Test :(

Thank you!
