Using request arguments

[Jean Amiouny]

Hi,

I'm fairly new to LUA. I've been trying to use arguments passed in my request in the LUA script.

My requests have this object passed:

{"desc":"this is a test","tok":"123974329742"}

how would I use the 'desc' for example in this http.request:

local response = http.request {

url = 'http://google.com',

params = { 

q=request.desc

},

method = "POST"

}

return response.content

Thanks!

How are the arguments being passed? Query parameters? Form post? JSON in the request body?

If you're not sure, please paste a request from your log here so I can see.

Hey thanks for the quick reply!

I'm using a POST through angularjs:

var req = {

                    method: 'POST',

                    url: 'https://SUB.webscript.io/SCRIPT',

                    data: {

                        desc: $scope.desc,

                        tok: result.id

                    }

                }
                $http(req)

Resending since I'm not sure my first reply made it through:

Hmm. I still don't know what that does. :-) (I don't know what Angular does here.)

But my guess would be that the data is passed as JSON in the request body, so you would want something like this: json.parse(request.body).desc.

Yes! That went through.

Thanks Steve for the super quick reply :)
