RE: HTTPAPI How to do a POST

[Mike Krebs <mkrebs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The sending and receiving is straight forward. Look at any of the post examples. JSON is just data that you can post.

But more importantly for your purposes, it says you are going to use OAuth. That will have to be hand coded as I don't think anyone has shared their code to do that. Adding the headers is not hard. But you have to get the client identifier and secret, store it someplace (maybe in your program?), and do the handshake to get the oauthToken to put into the header yourself. I believe several people on the list have successfully navigated the OAuth so you might be able to get some help if you ask but as I said, no one shared code that I could remember or find.

Hi Kevin,

the HTTP header is a HTTPAPI thing, but you can mix powerEXT Core procedures
(that supports json I/O) and HTTPAPI

Outgoing:

setContent('*none');
jsonNode('*object');
  jsonNode('*string':'email':'somebody@xxxxxxxxxxxxx');
  jsonNode('*string':givenName':'Fred');
  jsonNode(*string':surname':Rubble');
jsonEndNode();

The Json object will be in bufAddr() and bufSize()


Ingoing (simple json string):

myMail = jsonToField(inAddr:inSize:'email');
myName = jsonToField(inAddr:inSize:'givenName');
mySurname = jsonToField(inAddr:inSize:'surname');


If there is any special data encodings the jsonNode() and jsonToField() will
handle them.
