Re: Reading the content.

Yeaps, if the content-type is known the $HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA is empty and does not show on the $GLOBALS. Try this C program in Linux and you'll get surprised: ---------- httppost.c -------------------------------------------------- #include <unistd.h> #include <string.h> #include <sys/types.h> #include <sys/socket.h> #include <netinet/in.h> #include <errno.h> int main(void) { int sockfd, connfd, error; socklen_t len; struct sockaddr_in sa, csa; char line[1025]; if ((sockfd=socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0))<0) { printf("error in socket()\n"); exit(1); } bzero(&sa, sizeof(sa)); sa.sin_family=AF_INET; if (inet_aton("194.79.65.203",&sa.sin_addr)<0) { printf("error on inet_aton\n"); exit(1); } sa.sin_port=htons(80); if (connect(sockfd, &sa, sizeof(sa))<0) { printf("error on connect\n"); exit(1); } sprintf(line,"POST /dl_bulk.php HTTP/1.0\r\n"); printf("Sending: %s",line); write(sockfd, &line, strlen(line)); sprintf(line,"Host: test.datascan.c3im.pt\r\n"); printf("Sending: %s",line); write(sockfd, &line, strlen(line)); sprintf(line,"Content-type: text/xml\r\n"); printf("Sending: %s",line); write(sockfd, &line, strlen(line)); sprintf(line,"Content-length: 38\r\n\r\n"); printf("Sending: %s",line); write(sockfd, &line, strlen(line)); sprintf(line,"<?xml version=\"1.0\"?>\r\n<bla>\r\n</bla>\r\n"); printf("Sending: %s",line); write(sockfd, &line, strlen(line)); printf("Reading:\n"); while(read(sockfd, &line, 2048)) { line[strlen(line)+1]=0; printf("%s",line); } close(sockfd); } ---------- httppost.c -------------------------------------------------- and this is the dl_bulk.php contents: ---------- dl_bulk.php ------------------------------------------------ <? header("Content-type: text/xml"); print($HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA); ?> ---------- dl_bulk.php ------------------------------------------------
