Send data via HTTP POST request

[Mateusz123 0]

I've got a code that is sending the data via GET request:

 

-- performs a GET method on given uri, takes function as a parameter in case of success

getMethod = function(uri, success)

 

  local http = net.HTTPClient() -- creating object for performing HTTP call

 

    http:request(uri, {

        options = {

          method = 'GET'

        },

 

        success = success, -- function executed in a case of successful connection

 

        error = function(err) -- function executed in a case of connection error

          print('error' .. err)

        end

  })

end

 

The "uri" is a normal link which looks like =

And that works, but i need to send data via POST request. When i change the method to 'POST', it connect to server, but it doesn't send data. I don't exactly know how to write this data.

 

Would be really grateful for any help.

You have to send the data in the options part like:

Still can't send data....how do you describe variable payload? Something like this? payload = "action=create&description=myData&moreDescription=moreData

What do you need to post?

 

In the example above the payload would be something like: data1=vari1&data2=vari2

Hi,

 

I have the following code and it works perfectly in a scene:

I want to insert a globalVariable value in the "data" set.  For example, I want to send my current switch energy consumption.

 

Any suggestions?
