Smalltalk Daily 9/10/10: Creating HTTP POSTs
Today's Smalltalk Daily looks at doing Http POST and GET requests in Cincom Smalltalk - VisualWorks or ObjectStudio. The examples I used are below; they hit a simple servlet I have on a test server in my office. To skip to the video now, click here.
If you can't see the embedded video directly, you can go directly to YouTube for it.
"Do a simple GET" response := HttpClient new get: 'http://victoria:8011/blog/servlet/TestBlogServlet' "Do a POST request for a site that should be there" postData := OrderedCollection with: 'blog' -> 'blog'. client := HttpClient new. request := HttpRequest method: 'POST' url: 'http://victoria:8011/blog/servlet/TestBlogServlet'. request formData: postData. client executeRequest: request. "Do a POST request for a site that should not be there" postData := OrderedCollection with: 'blog' -> 'foo'. client := HttpClient new. request := HttpRequest method: 'POST' url: 'http://victoria:8011/blog/servlet/TestBlogServlet'. request formData: postData. client executeRequest: request.
