How to POST XML?

[Strom]

Hi,
I'm new to dispatch, and I'd like to know the easiest way to POST an XML NodeSeq to my Solr search server. Currently the "<<" method only takes <key, value> pairs, but I want to do something like this:

val req = :/("localhost", portNumber) / "path"
val xml = <commit/>
http(req << xml >>>System.out )

Thanks,
Strom

Does Solr perhaps support a PUT for that? Dispatch's POST interfaces assume application/x-www-form-urlencoded as the payload. That could be changed in a future version, and awkwardly worked around in current versions, but <<< will accept anything for PUT as it is.

Unfortunately, no. When I send via PUT, Solr whines with error 400, Unsupported Method: PUT.

Dang. What's the work around?

Give this a shot:

def string_post(req: dispatch.Request, string_body: String) = req.next {                          
  val m = new org.apache.http.client.methods.HttpPost
  m setEntity new org.apache.http.entity.StringEntity(string_body, Request.factoryCharset)
  Request.mimic(m)_
}

http(string_post(req, xml) >>> System.out)

That did the trick.

Thanks!

Cool! And << will work with a plain string in the next version of Dispatch.

Hi, I have a complementary request: I would like the ability to PUT a form. As a workaround, I added this method to my Specification:

  def putForm(request: Request, values: Map[String, Any]): Request = request.next {
    val m = new HttpPut
    m setEntity new UrlEncodedFormEntity(Http.map2ee(values), request.defaultCharset)
    Request.mimic(m)_
  }    

Now I can write

  http x (putForm(host / "users" / user, form) as_str)

Would it be possible to make putForm another overloaded version of dispatch.Request.<<<?

Thanks,

Konstantin

Sure, I'll do that on the 080 branch.

Thanks and sorry for not using the issue tracker in the first place.

No worries. It's not really linked up from the dispatch site yet. I
should probably integrate a bug list using the gh api. :)
