I'm trying to send a request with POST parameters in Netty.
I searched Netty API, Google, and here (Stack Overflow)
but didn't find any good way to do it. (It could be my fault of terrible searching skill :'( If so, I apologize)
Is there any API to do it easily?
Or do I have to do it by encoding all parameters and setting it in the content by myself?
Please let me know any good way to do it.
Here's an example of how you would do a file upload:
https://github.com/netty/netty/tree/master/example/src/main/java/io/netty/example/http/upload
If you don't want to upload a file, just ignore the MIME multipart bit.
Try something like:
HttpRequest httpReq=new DefaultHttpRequest(HttpVersion.HTTP_1_1,HttpMethod.POST,uri);
httpReq.setHeader(HttpHeaders.Names.HOST,host);
httpReq.setHeader(HttpHeaders.Names.CONNECTION,HttpHeaders.Values.KEEP_ALIVE);
httpReq.setHeader(HttpHeaders.Names.ACCEPT_ENCODING,HttpHeaders.Values.GZIP);
httpReq.setHeader(HttpHeaders.Names.CONTENT_TYPE,"application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
String params="a=b&c=d";
ChannelBuffer cb=ChannelBuffers.copiedBuffer(params,Charset.defaultCharset());
httpReq.setHeader(HttpHeaders.Names.CONTENT_LENGTH,cb.readableBytes());
httpReq.setContent(cb);
See Sending POST params with Netty and why isn't DefaultHttpDataFactory not in the releases?
