I'm having a big trouble due to this problem. I can't get POST data in my PHP API from a java client. I'm having this problem only with Aruba hosting and not in local development or other hosting sites
this is the java request:
urlParameters = "name=Jack";
byte[] postData = urlParameters.getBytes(StandardCharsets.UTF_8);
try {
URL myurl = new URL(url);
con = (HttpURLConnection) myurl.openConnection();
con.setDoOutput(true);
con.setRequestMethod("POST");
con.setRequestProperty("User-Agent", "Java client");
con.setRequestProperty("Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
con.setRequestProperty("Content-Length", String.valueOf(postData.length));
try (DataOutputStream wr = new DataOutputStream(con.getOutputStream())) {
wr.write(postData);
}
StringBuilder content;
try (BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(
new InputStreamReader(con.getInputStream()))) {
String line;
content = new StringBuilder();
while ((line = in.readLine()) != null) {
content.append(line);
content.append(System.lineSeparator());
}
}
System.out.println(content.toString());
}catch(MalformedURLException e){
System.out.println("Error "+e);
}catch(IOException e){
System.out.println("Error "+e);
}
finally {
con.disconnect();
}
Also in PHP i get:
if($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] === 'POST') false
$entityBody = file_get_contents('php://input'); empty string
I also tried also changing php version but nothing... Thanks for help!
Using Wireshark I got this. I'm not an expert, but I think that the request is redirected by a proxy and becomes GET
ok I found another clue Even with a html form it doesn't work but only if I use the full site path
<form method="POST" action="http://example.com/php/api.php"> doesn't work
<form method="POST" action="/php/api.php"> work
Now I think that is a permission problem, but I don't know what..
