Hello,

(entry level question ahead)

I have a simple static html page that will generate a piece of data that
I would like send back to the server. But when I try to get the params
from the request im getting an empty array. Is the following server
side code correct for this sort of thing?

The total set of parameters is currently split up into four subsets:

query: fields in the query string of the URL
form: fields of a POSTed HTML form, if any
(application/x-www-form-urlencoded)
params: custom parameters added to the request by the server/user
json: parsed JSON of the request, if any (application/json)

The params map is used for example by the UrlRouter to put in any
matched variables in the URL (e.g. /:id/view would produce a param
'id'). You could also use this for example to store authentication
information for later processing [1].

In your example you probably also want to set the "Content-Type" header
of the ajax request to "application/x-www-form-urlencoded". In that case
the 'form' map would contain ["test": "42"].

Another alternative is to set "Content-Type" to "application/json" and
use the 'json' field to get the contents.

a kind of middleware, that could add something to params so that later
stages have that information available:

[1]: The authentication example shows how performBasicAuth() is added as
a kind of middleware, that could add something to params so that later
stages have that information available:

Could you start adding these nice answers to the documentation or at
least the blog. this group doesn't have many members, and answers such
as this deserves more readers.

As soon as I have time... right now there is still too much stuff with a
higher priority (mostly non-vibe.d related).

Hi everybody, i'm new here and i am trying to make something with vibe.d. I have a problem with tha ajax request and the form datas.

I have this in my app.d:
/*************************************************************/
void showSearch(HttpServerRequest req, HttpServerResponse res)
{

auto output = res.bodyWriter();
parseDietFile!("search.dt", req)(output);

}

void runSearch(HttpServerRequest req, HttpServerResponse res)
{

auto output = res.bodyWriter();

output.write("params<br/>");
foreach(string s; req.params)
{
	output.write(s);
}
output.write("<br/>query<br/>");
foreach(string s; req.query)
{
	output.write(s);
}

output.write("<br/>cookie<br/>");
foreach(string s; req.cookies)
{
	output.write(s);
}

output.write("<br/>form<br/>");
foreach(string s; req.form)
{
	output.write(s);
}

}

router.get("/search", &showSearch);
router.post("/runSearch", &runSearch);

And this in the template search.dt
/************************************************************/

form(id="myform", name="myform", action="/runSearch", method="post")

label vol:
select(name="returnTicket")
	option(value="false")Aller Simple
	option(value="true")Aller Retour
input(name="formSubmit", type="submit", value="Search", alt="Search")

#searchResults

script(type="text/javascript")

window.addEvent('domready', function()
{
	new Form.Request("myform", "searchResults");
});

/*************************************************************/

When I fill the form and submit it without ajax request, all is okay, the form data is written to the body of the page as well, but if i submit the form using ajax (via mootools Form.Request), i got nothing (req.form is empty). Have you any idea to help me?

This framework is cool. Keep up the good work. There is any irc channel where we can talk about vibe? Thanks.

Hi. I would try and log out req.headers["Content-Type"] and remove the
ParseFormBody option from HttpServerSettings.options
(settings.options &= ~HttpServerOption.ParseFormBody;). Then you can
also log the request body using req.bodyReader.readAll() and see what
mootools actually sends.

• body (always look like this, with/without mootools & ajax, with/without settings.options &= ~HttpServerOption.ParseFormBody;):

returnTicket=true&classOfService=eco&departureAirport=PAR&arrivalAirport=ROM&departureDate.day=8&departureDate.monthYear=10-2012&returnDate.day=15&returnDate.monthYear=10-2012&adultCount=1&childCount=0&babyCount=0&flFormSubmit=Rechercher

• params (empty)
• query (empty)
• cookie (empty)
• form (empty)
• header (see below ..)

The Content-Type should be "application/x-www-form-urlencoded" or
"multipart/form-data".

The header when i use mootools looks like this:

POST /recherche HTTP/1.1
Host: localhost:8080
Connection: keep-alive
Content-Length: 255
Origin: http://localhost:8080
X-Requested-With: XMLHttpRequest
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.1 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/21.0.1180.89 Safari/537.1
Content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=UTF-8
Accept: text/html, application/xml, text/xml, /
Referer: http://localhost:8080/chercher
Accept-Encoding: gzip,deflate,sdch

Accept-Charset: ISO-8859-1,utf-8;q=0.7,*;q=0.3

Whitout mootools, it look like this (this is the one who actually work):

POST /recherche HTTP/1.1
Host: localhost:8080
Connection: keep-alive
Content-Length: 237
Cache-Control: max-age=0
Origin: http://localhost:8080
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.1 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/21.0.1180.89 Safari/537.1
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
Accept: text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,/;q=0.8

Accept-Charset: ISO-8859-1,utf-8;q=0.7,*;q=0.3

Hope this can help a bit :/
