- Python - HTTP post from stdin [closed] 1 answer
I have a python script accepting the output of a bash command 'ibeacon_scan'. I am getting this error when running the script.
Traceback (most recent call last):
file "./stdin.py", line 12, in <module>
conn.request("POST", "post.php", params, headers)
NameError: name 'params is not defined
Here is the code for python
#!/usr/bin/python
import fileinput
import httplib
import urllib
for line in fileinput.input():
parmas = urllib.urlencode({"UUID": {"Major":{"Minor":"RSSI"}}})
headers = {"Content-type": "application/x-www-form-urlencoded","Accept": "text/plain"}
conn = httplib.HTTPConnection("67.205.14.22")
conn.request("POST", "post.php", params, headers)
response = conn.getresponse()
print response.status, response.reason
data = response.read()
print data
conn.close()
The output of the 'ibeacon_san' command is:
ibeacon scan...

My question is, how do change my script send a query string such as:
http://67.205.14.22/post.php/ProcessRawData?data={"UUID":"3F234454-CFD-4A0FF-ADF2-F4911BA9FFA6","timestamp":"2010-04-12 10:54:24","Major": "1","Minor": "4","RSSI":"-69"}
I don't know how to get the fileinput formatted into a query string. Does my formatting look somewhat correct? The delimiter is a space for the data coming into the python script. I'm using Raspbian on a Raspberry Pi.
