Description

Filter sends a POST request to the server using application/x-www-form-urlencoded format. Filter waits for the server binary answer. Filter can be used to download files from the remote server.

When inCaCertFile is set to Auto, certificates installed in the operating system are used, otherwise only certificates from the input file are used.

Examples

Filter executed with parameters:

  • inUrl = http://localhost/test
  • inFields = ["param1", "param2"]
  • inFieldsData = ["1", "2"]

Request sent to the server:

POST /test HTTP/1.1
Host: localhost
User-Agent: FabImage/1.0
Accept: */*
Content-Length: 17
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded

param1=1&param2=2

It is also possible to include custom headers in the request. For this purpose, inHeaders and inHeadersData parameters are used.

Using the following values for these parameters:

  • inHeaders = ["Header1", "Header2"]
  • inHeadersData = ["value1", "value2"]

causes the following headers to be added to the request:

Header1: value1
Header2: value2

Remarks

Filter only accepts text answers encoded using UTF-8 or plain ASCII. To receive answer in arbitrary format please use Http_SendRequest_POST_ByteBuffer.
