Wt

This is supported through a WResource, but the support could be improved.

WResource::handleRequest() has a Http::request parameter, and the method in() returns the contents of your POST request. Normally, WResources live within a session, and the URL is auto-generated. If you need the URL to be fixed and usable without a session, install your resource as a static resource (WServer::addResource()).

By coincidence, this question also popped up on our mailing list today. See also Koen's answer there...

Ok, thank you very much.

Ummm, I don't know where to start. Can you give me a hint on how could I write a simple application that just prints out all POST data it receives? Thank you...

Nevermind, I managed to read POST & GET data with WEnvironment which is passed as an argument (env) to WApplication constructor. Is this the right way?

Hey Amir,

This is the way if you want to do this for a request posted to a new session.

If you have an existing session, you will need to use similar API found in the Http::Request object from within WResource::handleRequest().

I just started using Wt, so I'm not pretty sure how to use WResource. Do I create an WAnchor in my application and pass my custom WResource to WAnchor's constructor?

Hey Amir,

That's exactly what you need to do. You can also use WFileResource to serve from a file if you do not want/need to generate the contents on the fly.
