8.37.3 Get/Post Routines

8.37.3.1 http_post

include std/net/http.e
namespace http
public function http_post(sequence url, object data, object headers = 0,
        integer follow_redirects = 10, integer timeout = 15)

Post data to a HTTP resource.

Parameters:

• url - URL to send post request to
• data - Form data (described later)
• headers - Additional headers added to request
• follow_redirects - Maximum redirects to follow
• timeout - Maximum number of seconds to wait for a response

Returns:

An integer error code or a 2 element sequence. Element 1 is a sequence of key/value pairs representing the result header information. element 2 is the body of the result.

If result is a negative integer, that represents a local error condition.

If result is a positive integer, that represents a HTTP error value from the server.

Data Sequence:

This sequence should contain key value pairs representing the expected form elements of the called URL. For a simple url-encoded form:

{ {"name", "John Doe"}, {"age", "22"}, {"city", "Small Town"}}

All Keys and Values should be a sequence.

If the post requires multipart form encoding then the sequence is a little different. The first element of the data sequence must be MULTIPART_FORM_DATA. All subsequent field values should be key/value pairs as described above except for a field representing a file upload. In that case the sequence should be:

{ FIELD-NAME, FILE-VALUE, FILE-NAME, MIME-TYPE, ENCODING-TYPE }

Encoding type can be

• ENCODE_NONE
• ENCODE_BASE64

An example for a multipart form encoded post request data sequence

{
  { "name", "John Doe" }, 
  { "avatar", file_content, "me.png", "image/png", ENCODE_BASE64 },
  { "city", "Small Town" }
}

8.37.3.2 http_get

include std/net/http.e
namespace http
public function http_get(sequence url, object headers = 0, integer follow_redirects = 10,
        integer timeout = 15)

Get a HTTP resource.

Returns:

An integer error code or a 2 element sequence. Element 1 is a sequence of key/value pairs representing the result header information. Element 2 is the body of the result.

If result is a negative integer, that represents a local error condition.

If result is a positive integer, that represents a HTTP error value from the server.

Example:

include std/console.e -- for display()
include std/net/http.e

object result = http_get("http://example.com") 
if atom(result) then 
   printf(1, "Web error: %d\n", result) 
    abort(1) 
end if 

display(result[1]) -- header key/value pairs
printf(1, "Content: %s\n", { result[2] })
