  • http post call using http.js

    From Dmxrob@VERT/STLWEST to All on Wed Feb 13 19:33:43 2019
    Unfortunately I'm not finding http.js to be documented at all. I've been trying to make a .Post call passing in some parameters and it's just not working. Has anyone used http.js to make a .Post call and can shed some light?

    Would be something like:

    require('http.js', 'HTTPRequest');
    const hr = new HTTPRequest();
    const response = hr.Post('http://some-url', 'some post data');

    Yes, that much I have already figured out by looking at http.js.
    Unfortunately, I have not determined if "Some post data" will do URL encoding or if I need to do it first. Is it a string or can it take arrays or data sets? Things of that nature.

    I'll tinker with it more today and probably figure it out. Just thought it might be documented somewhere what the variable types were, etc.

    It just takes a string and doesn't transform it in any way, IIRC.

    A good enhancement would be to make it take an object instead of a string,
    to take advantage of keys and values. I can mess around with adding that in later.
