Hi I'm trying to get an ajax response from a wsgi server behind nginx (if that matters). I think I'm having issues reading the request as it would seem the variable request_body_size
is always 0; I get a return value of "No Request" in the alert box when I would like to see "test string".
I cant find many docs on this or examples of this working, so if anyone knows how to fix this I would be grateful.
I have this python code in the WSGI script:
import os, sys
from cgi import parse_qs
def application(environ, start_response):
try:
request_body_size = int(environ.get('CONTENT_LENGTH', 0))
except (ValueError):
request_body_size = 0
context = {}
if request_body_size != 0:
request_body = environ['wsgi.input'].read(request_body_size)
output = parse_qs(request_body)
else:
output = "No request"
status = '200 OK'
response_headers = [('Content-type', 'text/html'),('Content-Length', str(len(output)))]
start_response(status, response_headers)
return [output]
and this is the js making the request (jquery):
function test_request()
{
var test_string = "test string";
$.ajax({
type: 'GET',
url:"/ajax",
data: test_string,
success:function(result){alert(result)}}
);
}
