How can I retrieve the HTTP POST
request body when implementing NanoHTTPDs serve
method?
I've tried to use the getInputStream()
method of IHTTPSession
already, but I always get an SocketTimeoutException
when using it inside of the serve
method.
In the serve
method you first have to call session.parseBody(files)
, where files
is a Map<String, String>
, and then session.getQueryParameterString()
will return the POST
request's body.
I found an example in the source code. Here is the relevant code:
public Response serve(IHTTPSession session) {
Map<String, String> files = new HashMap<String, String>();
Method method = session.getMethod();
if (Method.PUT.equals(method) || Method.POST.equals(method)) {
try {
session.parseBody(files);
} catch (IOException ioe) {
return new Response(Response.Status.INTERNAL_ERROR, MIME_PLAINTEXT, "SERVER INTERNAL ERROR: IOException: " + ioe.getMessage());
} catch (ResponseException re) {
return new Response(re.getStatus(), MIME_PLAINTEXT, re.getMessage());
}
}
// get the POST body
String postBody = session.getQueryParameterString();
// or you can access the POST request's parameters
String postParameter = session.getParms().get("parameter");
return new Response(postBody); // Or postParameter.
}
