Access raw POSTED data

[netblazon]

I have some mivascript that receives raw data from an http post, not in name=value pairs. Is there a way to access it?

[wmgilligan]

If I am understanding right - shouldn't

<MvAssign name="stuff" value="{ arg2 }">

work?
Then write it to a file... or send an email, or....

[netblazon]

arg2 is empty.

But maybe the issue is on the sending script. I'll write something to post to it so I control the postER, and then I can see what the postEE does. Thanks Bill.

Try just arg

I handled this for a project some years ago. I don't recall the details, but I think there's a Linux environment variable that contains the data you need; and there's a way to configure Miva to pass that environment variable to you as a system variable. Hope that helps --

If it is json, this is what I use... (Kent triggered a memory)

<MvAssign name="l.ok" value="{ miva_json_decode(s.content_data, respOut) }">

[wmgilligan]

Then something like this to deal with it

   <MvAssign name="cust" value="{ respOut:data:object:customer }">
   <MvAssign name="var1" value="{ respOut:data:object:lines:data[1]:id }">

Kent and BIll, you two RULE. s.content_data is exactly where the information was landing. Thank you both!

I have to give thanks to Brennan for this one...

There is a little more info on the requirements at the above link.

Did you check s.QUERY_STRING?

As for s.content_data Brennan referred to:

Is this something that has to be configured in Empresa?
Under what conditions is this variable populated?

I was planning up updating this page soon. http://www.mivascript.com/topic/system-variables.html and it would be good to know.

This is something I didn't know and it's going to fix a mess I've been trying to work out for a bit, thanks for this discussion guys!

Ray - according to Brennan,

In version 5.18 or higher of Empresa there is a variable that may contain the request body. It is named s.content_data
The reason I say "may" is because this is only set if the Content-Type is not "application/x-www-form-urlencoded" or "multipart/form-data"

I did not think of the query_string, but it also looks like its only for get and not post?

Reach out to Brennan for more info - there may even be more you can add to your update!
