Post request payload clarification

[zelding]

Please clarify this for me: I'm using a POST request which has a query parameter also, but the payload doesn't seem to get through. (Both arrays are key-value pairs)

$restClient->post(
    $someApiUrl . "?" . http_build_query($someArray),
    http_build_query($someOtherArray)
);

[Timo-Linde]

please provide more informations about the returned response object

[zelding]

Here is the response var_dump:

maybe the destination api only accepts 'application/json' content-type

try:

$restClient->post(
    $someApiUrl . "?" . http_build_query($someArray),
    json_encode($someOtherArray)
);

if not: Try to provide a full bunch of informations. example $someArray example $someOtherArray example $someApiUrl Target Api authentication seems to be correct because the api answers with a HTTP_OK

[zelding]

I've tried it with raw curl

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, http_build_query($someOtherArray));

json payload didn't made a difference.

Examples:

    $someArray = ['token' => "a0b1c2d3e4f5"];
    $someotherArray = [
        'value1' => 'someString',
        'value2' => 'someOtherString',
        'value3' => 2.7,
        'value4' => 34
    ];
    $someApiUrl = 'https://host.net/api/v1/model/id/something';

Than it should work: CiRestClientBundle does nothing else

    /**
     * sets the payload
     *
     * @param  $payload
     * @return Curl
     */
    private function setPayload($payload) {
        $this->curlOptionsHandler->setOption(CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $payload);
        return $this;
    }

Maybe you forgot to set other options. Like this for json:

circle_rest_client:
    curl:
      defaults:
        CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER:     [ 'Content-Type: application/json' ]

[zelding]

That was it, thank you!

I left out the whole configuration, once i set
CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER: [ 'Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded' ] it was fine.

Nice. This can be closed .

Thank you Timo for figuring that out. Closed.
