extract URL Params from HTML Form

[zenwong]

Hi there, I've been trying to extract the url parameters from a HTML form with your library. I am ale to get extract the params using jansson to extract the QUERY param from the return req->headers. So when I do curl -X POST 'localhost/form?title=TITLE&desc=DESC&date=DATE' i am able to get back title desc and date. But when I submit my html form it doesn't seem to pick up the query params, not sure what I'm supposed to put in the html form action.

the html form

the netstring
======NETSTRING======

54c6755b-9628-40a4-9a2d-cc82a816345e 2 /form 622:{"PATH":"/form","x-forwarded-for":"127.0.0.1","cache-control":"max-age=0","origin":"http://dev.l","content-type":"application/x-www-form-urlencoded","accept-language":"en-US,en;q=0.8","accept-encoding":"gzip,deflate,sdch","connection":"keep-alive","content-length":"72","referer":"http://dev.l/","accept-charset":"ISO-8859-1,utf-8;q=0.7,*;q=0.3","accept":"text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,*/*;q=0.8","user-agent":"Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/535.7 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/16.0.912.77 Safari/535.7","host":"dev.l","METHOD":"POST","VERSION":"HTTP/1.1","URI":"/form","PATTERN":"/form"},72:title=sdgfsdfg&desc=fdsgsdf&tDate=10-1-2012,

as you can see theres no QUERY field.

That HTML form in your example is not complete. Did it have a title, desc, and Date field?

Mongrel2 request netstrings have two parts: a) headers, b) body. The body in this example is "72:title=sdgfsdfg&desc=fdsgsdf&tDate=10-1-2012,". I that your data?

ya that's my data, the html form had the correct form fields. whenever i try posting from the html form, it seems I get the query string in the body part.

<label for"title">Title :

  <label for"desc">Desc :</label>
  <input id="desc" type="text" name="desc" /><br />

  <label for"date">Date :</label>
  <input id="date" type="text" name="date" /><br />

  <label for"actress">Actress :</label>
  <input id="actress" type="text" name="actress" /><br />

  <label for"tags">Tags :</label>
  <input id="tags" type="text" name="tags" /><br />

those are the form fields, i've omitted the rest of the html structure in this post, but it is in there in my html file. I just wanted to show what data has been submitted after the html form is submitted.
