POSTing to url
[1/5] from: jblake::arsenaldigital::com at: 12-Jul-2007 14:27
Ok.
What am I doing wrong?
I'm reading in a csv and using the data to post to a url. The url is a
php script that opens a ticket in our ticketing system.
I can read the file info.
When I post, the response is that it's not seeing all of the items
needed.
I'm doing;
result: read/custom http://x.x.x.x/api/portal.php reduce ['post mold
host ip category customer]
host, ip, category and customer are all populated from the csv.
I tried putting ['post mold "?&host="host "&ip="ip ...snip..] but that
didn't work either.
I feel like I'm hitting all around it but not quite there yet.
Thanks
John

I would have thought this would give you the right format for the
URL (subject to the keywords being right) (It's the way I do it,
anyway):
target: http:...
parameters: rejoin ["host=" host "&ip=" ip "&cat=" category ....]
read/custom target compose [POST (parameters)]
If that fails, see what you get with:
read join target ["?" parameters]
You may need to escape some of the parameter values -- eg if your
customer names contain "=", "&" or space.
Is it possible you are being returned a HTML page that you need to
parse for usable content?

That's for the response.
The page is returning the error designed for when it doesn't get the
items.
Here's the php code;
//////////////////////////////
// Check for required field(s)
if(!isset($_POST['host'], $_POST['ip'], $_POST['category'],
$_POST['subject'], $_POST['site'], $_POST['customer'],
$_POST['contact'], $_
POST['body'])) {
echo
<prov-req-response><transtatus>12112</transtatus><ticketnum>-1</ticketn
um></prov-req-response>
;
die(); // CATCH ERROR
}
/////////////////////
When I print my result;
I see the "-1" line which is the error line.
Let me try your suggestions.
Thanks

Hi John,
there are url-encode.r functions floating about that might help.
in extreme cases when you *know* your request is valid and
still do not get the expected response
I have had to (temporarily) disable rebols auto redirects ...
here is a snippit

Thanks for the help Sunanda.
Posting to users for searches
Here's what I did to get it working.
parameters: rejoin ["product=" prod "&host=" host "&ip=" ip &categorycat "&subject="
subj "&site=" site "&customer=" cust "&contact=" contact
&body data "&"]
result: read/custom target reduce ['post parameters]
print result
When I had the ticketing sys guy insert some code so I could see what it
was receiving;
I got that it was only seeing "product=<br"
Then I was able to figure it out.
