SFML - Sending a Request Problem

[xAustechx]

[b]Problem Solved[/b]

I'm trying to send a POST request to my site, then the site saves that info in a file. The problem is that it apparently isn't receiving the fields I set.

C++ Program:

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <SFML/Network.hpp>

int main()
{
	sf::Http http;
	sf::Http::Request req;

	req.SetMethod(sf::Http::Request::Post);

	req.SetUri("/GetRequest.php");

	req.SetField("firstname", "aus");
	req.SetField("last", "tech");

	http.SetHost("http://theaustech.110mb.com");

	http.SendRequest(req);
}

GetRequest.php

<?php

$name = $_POST["firstname"];
$lastname = $_POST["last"];

$list = fopen("savename.txt", 'a');
fwrite($list, $name);
fwrite($list, " ");
fwrite($list, $lastname);
fwrite($list, "\n");
fclose($list);
?>

The request is getting sent though, because every time I run this program, I check the savename.txt file and there's a new line added. So that means that the name nor the lastname field is being grabbed since it's outputting nothing but the new line.

Does anyone know what I did wrong? Or how I can go about fixing it?

Also, sorry if this should be in the Web Development forum.

I'm not sure what the problem might be, but I'd try doing a print_r($_POST) in PHP and see what it gives, and also I'd write a response and try to read it frm your C++ app.

I wrote in the file $_POST but all I got was "Array".

[quote]Parameters:
Body : Content of the request body

This parameter is optional and makes sense only for POST requests. This parameter is empty by default [/quote]

To me this seems to mean that you should be doing this:

req.SetBody("\
<form>\n\
<input type="text" name="firstname" />\n\
<input type="text" name="last" /> \n\
</form> \n\
");

Combined with these lines I believe it will work.
req.SetField("firstname", "aus");
req.SetField("last", "tech");

ATM you are telling it to set post variables which don't exist.
BTW call SetBody before the SetField calls.

Never used this but that's what I think.

I've never used this aus, but try this:

[cpp]
sf::Http http;
sf::Http::Request req;

req.SetMethod(sf::Http::Request::Post);
req.SetUri("/GetRequest.php");
req.setBody( "firstname=aus&last=tech" );

http.SetHost("http://theaustech.110mb.com");

http.SendRequest(req);[/cpp]

Pretty sure the POST content body has nothing to do with the form, and is just the get variables as a string on its own like in my post.

Seriously though, this is just going from how it's done with a POST ajax request...

[Jallen]

Also sorry for the poor punctuation and troll like appearance of my posts, its the frustration of using a netbook keyboard, it activates my inner troll.

[r4nk_]

Yeah I didn't see that coming :smug:

But I don't understand why sfml wouldn't automatically set it for you if it already has functions that let you set the field names and values for GET...

[QUOTE=Jallen;25727327]right*

Yeah that's pretty wierd.

Austech, could you try removing the SetField calls for curiosity's sake?

My code is without the set fields and should work..

[Jallen]

Oh right I just skimmed over it and saw your different SetBody call.

Well yeah that definitely is wierd. That could be seen as a bug. Or at least if it does what it's intended to then it should be better documented.

[r4nk_]

I guess it's so you can send GET and POST variables with one request

[editline]30th October 2010[/editline]

Wait but you tell SFML what request type it is :S so that can't be right
