Post data with Apache2::Request

Hi

I am trying to obtain POST data from a form.

I have these lines:

my $req = Apache2::Request->new($r);
my $email = $req->body('email');

My form contains a field called 'email'.

However no data.

The line: print $req->body_status(); outputs 'SUCCESS' seeming to indicate
a) that $req as an instance of Apache2::Request and b) that the object
thinks it has got some data?

I have tired sending the data by GET and using : my $email =
$req->param('email') but there was no data there either.

I don't want to use CGI.pm if possible

with thanks

Kropotkin

Re: Post data with Apache2::Request

Hi Tyler

The cpan docs say $req->body('field_name') for POST data and seem to imply
$req->param('field_name') for GET data. Neither work.

I reinstalled libapreq .

I had the same problems with Apache::Request. Could never get POST data out
of that though I could get GET data.

Looks like back to CGI.pm.

Re: Post data with Apache2::Request

Hi Tyler

Solved! I didn't and should have said I am using Mason. It looks like Mason
gobbled up the POST data. (This must an example of the problem I see
mentioned that the POST data can only be read once). I can then get the POST
data from a Mason variable %ARGS.

Try LWP::UserAgent to post forms instead. It's quite easy to use.

Read the subject again. Epic fail at reading comprehension. He's not
trying to post forms anywhere, he's trying to read post form data
using Apache2::Request, whole different end of the spectrum there
sonny :)

Re: Post data with Apache2::Request

Hi Ben

Yes. That is correct. Thanks. LWP::UserAgent is used for something else. In
fact problem solved as per above
