ASIO

[Mohammed Rasmy-2]

Hello,



I am trying to do a POST request using Boost::Asio, of a variable x
that holds an email address, and a variable y that holds the contents
of a zip file.



I couldn't find samples floating around and I'm unsure of how to
proceed. I've come up with the following code:



boost::asio::streambuf request;

std::ostream request_stream(&request);



wxString buffer =  wxT("POST ");

buffer += wxT("http://serveraddress.com");

buffer += wxT(" HTTP/1.1\r\n");

buffer += wxT("Host: serveraddress.com\r\n");

buffer += wxT("Accept: */*\r\n");

buffer += wxT("Connection: close\r\n\r\n");

buffer += wxT("email_address=test@...");

buffer += wxT("zip_file=")/*actual zip file data here?*/;

request_stream << buffer.mb_str();



Note that I am using wxWidgets, wxT is nothing more than a way of
defining strings there, and wxString is, well, a string. The above code
compiles fine, but I am not sure how to add the zip file? Also would
the above code work? I know it is working for a GET request but that's
it. Please advise.



Thanks for your time,

Mohammed

I don't know for sure but where is your '&'. Try changing

buffer += wxT("email_address=test@...");
to
buffer += wxT("email_address=test@...&");
or
buffer += wxT("zip_file=")/*actual zip file data here?*/;
to
buffer += wxT("&zip_file=")/*actual zip file data here?*/;

Uh, is this not a question about HTTP standards, rather than a Boost  
library (since the Boost library use worked)? I.e., fairly OT?

Yes, I missed to include the "&", thanks for pointing that out. Any idea on how to send off the contents of a zip file?
