I have an action that I am POSTing to from jquery:
[HttpPost]
public void UpdateGroupName(int groupId, string name)
{
authorisationRepository.UpdateGroupName(groupId, name);
}
This works fine with the groupId
and name
. I have a few other group actions so I would like to use an authorisation attribute to make sure the person performing the change has permission to make the change.
I already have an AuthorizationAttribute
that retrieves the groupId
successfully on GET requests by accessing filterContext.HttpContext.Request.Params["groupId"]
but when it comes to POSTs it doesn't work. The Request.Form
is empty and so is Request.Params
.
Here's the code I have in my authorisation attribute:
public int groupId { get; set; }
protected override bool AuthorizeCore(HttpContextBase httpContext)
{
username = httpContext.User.Identity.Name.Split('\\').Last();
// awesome permissions checking goes here...
return authorized;
}
public override void OnAuthorization(AuthorizationContext filterContext)
{
groupId = int.Parse(filterContext.HttpContext.Request.Params["groupId"]); // this line throws an exception
base.OnAuthorization(filterContext);
}
I have looked at this answer but my Form
property is empty :(
Updated to show jquery post:
var serverComm = {
post: function (url, data) {
return $.ajax({
url: url,
type: 'POST',
contentType: 'application/json; charset=utf-8',
data: JSON.stringify(data)
});
},
get: function (url, data) {
return $.ajax({
url: url,
type: 'GET',
cache: false,
contentType: 'application/json; charset=utf-8',
data: data
});
}
};
// some awesome code later...
serverComm.post(editGroupNameUrl, { groupId: group.id, name: newName })
