When a user hits a certain url with a GET request I'd like to redirect them to a POST request at another location.
package main
import (
"bytes"
"fmt"
"io/ioutil"
"log"
"net/http"
"net/url"
)
func old(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
newURL := "/new"
var bdy = []byte(`title=Buy cheese and bread for breakfast.`)
r.Method = "POST"
r.URL, _ = url.Parse(newURL)
r.RequestURI = newURL
r.Body = ioutil.NopCloser(bytes.NewReader(bdy))
r.Header.Set("Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded")
http.Redirect(w, r, newURL, 302)
}
func new(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
r.ParseForm()
fmt.Printf("Method:%v
", r.Method)
fmt.Printf("Title:%v
", r.Form.Get("title"))
}
func main() {
http.HandleFunc("/", old)
http.HandleFunc("/new", new)
port := 8000
fmt.Printf("listening on %v
", port)
if err := http.ListenAndServe(fmt.Sprintf(":%v", port), nil); err != nil {
log.Fatal("ListenAndServe: ", err)
}
}
When I hit "/" I end up getting redirected to "/new" but with a GET request and no form data:
Method:GET
Title:
If I curl "/new" directly I get :
curl -XPOST localhost:8000/new -d "title=Buy cheese and bread for breakfast."
Method:POST
Title:Buy cheese and bread for breakfast.
