NanoHTTPD unable to process POST parameters

3.5k views Asked by lio op At 24 November 2024 at 15:52

I have downloaded newest NanoHTTPD from link: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/NanoHttpd/nanohttpd/master/core/src/main/java/fi/iki/elonen/NanoHTTPD.java

When processing very basic POST example, calling session.getParms() returns empty map. My code is:

@Override
public Response serve(IHTTPSession session) {
    System.out.println( session.getMethod() + " " + session.getParms() );
    return newFixedLengthResponse("Some response.");
}

Which returns:

{}

HTML code triggering nanoHTTPD is:

<html>
<body>
<form action="http://localhost:3388" method="POST">
    <input type="text" name="username" value="a" />
    <input type="submit" />
</form>

</body>
</html>

That all looks good. Do you see anything suspicious in my code, or just nanoHTTPD is not mature enough?

session.parseBody() only needed if you upload one or more files. Your codes are fine except you must provide enctype="multipart/form-data" in your html form tag. So your html code should be:

<html>
<body>
<form action="http://localhost:3388" enctype="multipart/form-data" method="POST">
    <input type="text" name="username" value="a" />
    <input type="submit" />
</form>

</body>
</html>

You should do parseBody before get parameters when you handle a POST request.

In your code, just like this:

@Override
public Response serve(IHTTPSession session) {
    session.parseBody(new HashMap<String, String>());
    System.out.println( session.getMethod() + " " + session.getParms() );
    return newFixedLengthResponse("Some response.");
}
