❔ HTTP code not returning expected result.

So I have the following code

FormUrlEncodedContent content = new FormUrlEncodedContent(new[] { new KeyValuePair<string, string>("Test1", "Test2") });
Task<HttpResponseMessage> result = client.PostAsync(URL, content);
Task<string> resultContent = result.Result.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();
Debug.Log(resultContent.Result);

FormUrlEncodedContent content = new FormUrlEncodedContent(new[] { new KeyValuePair<string, string>("Test1", "Test2") });
Task<HttpResponseMessage> result = client.PostAsync(URL, content);
Task<string> resultContent = result.Result.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();
Debug.Log(resultContent.Result);

Which should send the following http://zandose1.centralus.cloudapp.azure.com/test.php?Test1=Test2 and then I have some PHP code which should return Test1=Test2. If I put http://zandose1.centralus.cloudapp.azure.com/test.php?Test1=Test2 into a browser it works fine but with the C# code it doesn't get the anything.

You don't seem to ever be awaiting anything

I was having issues writing the code with awaiting so I got rid of them for testing. Is it required to make it work?

Angius•3y ago

It might be the cause of the issue, it might not be But it's best to eliminate things that go against the proper usage first, makes finding actual errors easier

zandoseOP•3y ago

alright I'll try rewriting it with awaits

Angius•3y ago

var content = new FormUrlEncodedContent(new[] { new KeyValuePair<string, string>("Test1", "Test2") });
var result = await client.PostAsync(URL, content);
var resultContent = await result.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();
Debug.Log(resultContent);

var content = new FormUrlEncodedContent(new[] { new KeyValuePair<string, string>("Test1", "Test2") });
var result = await client.PostAsync(URL, content);
var resultContent = await result.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();
Debug.Log(resultContent);

I'm not familiar with PHP but in the C# code you are POSTing the form data and in the browser you are doing a GET request. How are you reading the values in your PHP code?

zandoseOP•3y ago

Thanks and done. Same result. Basically the PHP code takes the URL and returns it

echo "test | " . $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'];

echo "test | " . $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'];

but it's only returning the test part.

That's the issue. The query string is everything after the ?. In a POST the data is sent as the body of the request.

Angius•3y ago

You never send a query param named QUERY_STRING You send one named Test1 with the value Test2

zandoseOP•3y ago

Hmm

Angius•3y ago

Also, get those values from the $_GET superglobal Rule of thumb: don't use $_SERVER $_GET for query params, $_POST for form body

I was just testing by returning everything. I haven't made the PHP correct and secure yet. OK, so this works

var result = await client.GetAsync("http://zandose1.centralus.cloudapp.azure.com/test.php?Test1=Test2");
var resultContent = await result.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();
Debug.Log(resultContent);

var result = await client.GetAsync("http://zandose1.centralus.cloudapp.azure.com/test.php?Test1=Test2");
var resultContent = await result.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();
Debug.Log(resultContent);

Just need to figure out how to add in the

var content = new FormUrlEncodedContent(new[] { new KeyValuePair<string, string>("Test1", "Test2") });

var content = new FormUrlEncodedContent(new[] { new KeyValuePair<string, string>("Test1", "Test2") });

part

Angius•3y ago

That's something you would read from $_POST $_POST['Test1'] to be precise
