post data

Hello

I am sending in a post operation this xml data:
<test>
<testAttribute test="2"/>
<testSemi>2;3434;23434;34</testSemi>
</test>

when I do "var all" I get :
{<test>
<testAttribute test} {"2"/>
<testSemi>2} 3434 {} 23434 {} {34</testSemi>

</test>

} {}

how should I retrieve the sent xml?

Thanks

It doesn't like you are doing anything to transform 's' into a
properly formatted query string.

There is a problem with the following code:
 
> in tcl:
> set data "<test>
>  <testAttribute test="2"/>
>  <testSemi>2;3434;23434;34</testSemi>
>  </test>
> "
> set response [http::geturl
> http://192.168.10.150/xmlServer/xmlServer.ttml -query  $data -timeout 50000]

You need to encode the data:

set data {<test>
    <testAttribute test="2"/>
    <testSemi>2;3434;23434;34</testSemi>
    </test>
}

set response [http::geturl http://localhost/post.ttml -query [http::formatQuery foo $data] -timeout 50000]
puts [http::data $response]

That gives me:

foo {<test>
    <testAttribute test="2"/>
    <testSemi>2;3434;23434;34</testSemi>
    </test>
}

Otherwise, you are sending it 'raw', and things like = and ; are not
encoded, and are thus seen by the parser, which then dutifully mangles
the string:-)

How *exactly* are you sending it in?
 
> when I do "var all" I get :
> {<test>
> <testAttribute test} {"2"/>
> <testSemi>2} 3434 {} 23434 {} {34</testSemi>
>

> } {}

To me, it looks as if it's getting parsed one too many times, or that
it's not getting encoded when it's sent.  See how it things that
everything before test="2" is a variable name, and that 2 and the
stuff that follows untill ; is its value?

Hrm... that's an odd one.  Try using the other 'var' commands and see
what happens.  I will look into it...
