QHTTP POST problem

[oscar]

Hi,

The following code doesn't work...
Before calling this method, the http class worked good by initially calling sethost method and then several get methods.

But then I need to send a lot of variables, so the POST method is necessary.

I tested a POST html form to valid my PHP script send.php. Everything is ok.

Also, the SLOT requestFinished is called and no errors are reported...

Any idea? Or a functional POST method example?

Thanks
Oscar

void MyExport::sendHealthCase(QString recipient) {
        QString person = "type=healthcase";
        person += "&recipient=" + recipient;
        person += "&from=" + email;
        Patient patient = Patient::get(patientId);
        person += "&table=person";
        person += "&civilStatus=" + QString::number(patient.civilStatus);
        person += "&surname=" +  patient.surname;
        connect(http, SIGNAL(requestFinished(int, bool)),
        this, SLOT(healthCaseFinished(int, bool)));
 
        http->post( QString("/software/send.php"), person.toUtf8());
}

void MyExport::sendHealthCase(QString recipient) {
        QString person = "type=healthcase";
        person += "&recipient=" + recipient;
        person += "&from=" + email;
        Patient patient = Patient::get(patientId);
        person += "&table=person";
        person += "&civilStatus=" + QString::number(patient.civilStatus);
        person += "&surname=" +  patient.surname;
        connect(http, SIGNAL(requestFinished(int, bool)),
        this, SLOT(healthCaseFinished(int, bool)));

        http->post( QString("/software/send.php"), person.toUtf8());
}

Have you tried using this kind of get?

//       Note the question mark here \
http->get(QString("/software/send.php?") + person);

//       Note the question mark here \
http->get(QString("/software/send.php?") + person);

Yes Yuriry,

It's working with the GET method.

But the GET method is too limited (there's a maximum length) when you need to transfer a lot of data which is my case.

Well, the following solution is working:

QString person="type=healthcase&recipient=test@test.com";
QHttpRequestHeader header("POST", "/software/send.php");
header.setValue("Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
header.setValue("Host", "dopcica.org");
buffer = new QBuffer();
http->request(header,person.toAscii(),buffer);

QString person="type=healthcase&recipient=test@test.com";
QHttpRequestHeader header("POST", "/software/send.php");
header.setValue("Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
header.setValue("Host", "dopcica.org");
buffer = new QBuffer();
http->request(header,person.toAscii(),buffer);
