I have a script where I want to post some json to another site and then handle
the return value. This will not just be returning a JSON value to a browser.
I was thinking of using cURL but figured I'd try Zend_Http_Client. Originally,
was going to use setRawPost but other developer would prefer just a straight
variable named data and then will grab and process via JSON parser on his end.
I have some code like this:
$output=json_encode($result);
$client = new Zend_Http_Client('http://www.server.com/json/write.php',
array(
'maxredirects' => 0,
'timeout' => 30));
//$client->setHeaders('content-type: text/json');
$client->setParameterPost('data',$output);
$client->request();
I get the following error msg: there was an error Cannot handle content type ''
automatically. Please use Zend_Http_Client::setRawData to send this kind of
content.
This happens whether the I have set the content/type via the commented out line
(or application/json or application/javascript). I would think since I'm
assigning it to a standard post variable, that text/html would work - I'm
assuming this is the default.
How should I be doing this? Is it just easier to use cURL.
I could see doing more of this in the future and would just like to know what
the best practice is.
thanks,
j
