How to pass data with GET request?


I want to pass form data with GET request.

I have success with this curl: curl http://sample.com -d 'action=login_request&user_name=balvan'

but I need to pass that same stuff from -d. with this function call:

(http-client/request
                             {:url             base-url
                              :method          :get
                              :deadlock-guard? false
                              :insecure?       true})

How to add those "-d" parameters within the request body?

I am have [org.httpkit.client :as http-client] in ns declaration and [cheshire "5.8.1"] in project's dependencies.

  • Issuing man curl tells us that the -d flag will send a post request with data.

        (HTTP)  Sends  the  specified data in a POST request to the HTTP
        cause curl to pass the data to the server using the content-type
        -d, --data is the same as --data-ascii. --data-raw is almost the
        ter...
    

    What you want to do is:

    (http-client/request
      {:url              base-url
       :method           :post
       :form-params      {"action" "login_request"
                          "user_name" "balvan"}
       :deadlock-guard?  false
       :insecure?        true})
