RESTful POST

[jakvike]

I am attempting to build a RESTful POST into my wifly. but having trouble getting anything past POST / HTTP/1.1.

Anyone have a clue on getting the Request body?

I've done something like this with a library I wrapped around WiFlyHQ. It took me some trial and error to figure out what headers I needed to be able to make a post. In particular, look at https://github.com/bsalinas/WebTrestle/blob/master/Arduino/WiFlyHQTrestle/WiFlyHQTrestle.cpp

boolean WiFlyHQTrestle::makePost(char* request, char* data){
    if(_wifly-> isConnected()){
        _wifly->close();
    }
    if (_wifly->open(_site, _port)) {
        _wifly->print("POST ");
        _wifly->print(request);
        _wifly->println(" HTTP/1.1");
        _wifly->println("Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
        _wifly->println("Connection: close");
        _wifly->print("Host: ");
        _wifly->println(_site);
        _wifly->print("Content-Length: ");
        _wifly->println(strlen(data));
        _wifly->println();
        _wifly->print(data);
        return waitForResponse();
    }
  return false;

Here, request looks something like \add_measurement and data looks like "name=789&description=123456&identifier=ABC"

Not sure if this is what you are looking for or not.

Great start to a restful api. Do you mind if email you personally? If so email me @ jakvike@gmail.com please. On Nov 25, 2012 1:49 PM, "Ben Salinas" notifications@github.com wrote:

I am starting on a object oriented approach to your implementation.

I am not saying this is the best approach just a start and a thought.

class Common {protected: char * Name; char * Description; virtual int Add(T) = 0; virtual int Remove(T) = 0;} class Station: public Common{public: bool Override; // Station Constructor (name, description, override). Station(char, char, bool); int Add(Station& station); int Remove(Station& station);} class Sensor: public Common{public: char * Identifier; char * Units; // Sensor Contructor (identifier, name, description, units). Sensor(char, char, char, char); int Add(Sensor& sensor); int Remove(Sensor& sensor);} class State: public Common{public: char * Identifier; // State Constructor (identifier, name, description). State(char, char, char_); int Add(State& state); int Remove(State& state);} class Bridge: public Common{public: char * Site; int Port; // product wifly or Ethernet? // Bridge Constructor (stationidentifier, site, port, product). Bridge(char, char, int); int Add(Bridge& bridge); int Remove(Bridge& bridge);} class Action: public Common{public: char * Identifier; ActionFunctionPtr Func; // Action Constructor (identifier, name, description, Action function). Action(char, char, char, ActionFunctionPtr); int Add(Action& action); int Remove(Action& action);} templateint Add (T) { } templateint Remove(T) { }
