I like to build a small REST Interface to connect PYTHON with PHP. After some hours of google I ended with nearly copy&paste code from several discussion-boards:
import requests
import json
url = 'http://spidercontrol.ilumiweb.local/helge/voltage'
headers = {'Content-type': 'application/json', 'Accept': 'text/plain'}
data = {'value': '7.4', 'decay_time': '300'}
r = requests.post(url, data=json.dumps(data), headers=headers)
This should send the data as json via POST to the given url.This is where it's sended to:
<?php
echo "Method: \t".$_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD']."
";
print_r(getallheaders());
echo "Post:";
print_r($_POST);
echo "Get:";
print_r($_GET);
exit;
?>
But there is nothing in the $_POST data:
Method: POST
Array
(
[Host] => spidercontrol.ilumiweb.local
[Content-Length] => 37
[Content-type] => application/json
[Accept-Encoding] => gzip, deflate, compress
[Accept] => text/plain
[User-Agent] => python-requests/2.2.1 CPython/2.7.6 Windows/7
)
Post:Array
(
)
Get:Array
(
)
If I use the same code, but remove the headers=headers information but data=data it works well. Did someone know why?
