Hi,
I am new to web programming ( certainly to GAE ). I need have an
arrangement where I can update data from my custom C code and display
it on web. I found that HTTP POST is a good candidate to upload
"light" data.
I am trying to understand the GAE and web programming simultaneously
and have modified code available on net to try out the possibilities
for the same.
Here is the code for GAE.
<import package here>
class GetPage(webapp.RequestHandler):
def get(self):
self.response.out.write("""
<html>
<body>
<p> In Get </p>
</body>
</html>""")
class PostPage(webapp.RequestHandler):
def post(self):
self.response.out.write('<html><body>In Post<pre>')
self.response.out.write(cgi.escape(self.request.get('content')))
self.response.out.write('</pre></body></html>')
application = webapp.WSGIApplication( [('/', GetPage), ('/post',
PostPage)], debug=True)
def main():
run_wsgi_app(application)
if __name__ == "__main__":
main()
The client code (written in python for experimentation now, planning
to use libcurl for C later) which can send a Http POST request is here
-
h = httplib2.Http()
form_fields = {
"content" : "Yippy!! POST works"
}
data = urllib.urlencode(form_fields)
resp, content = h.request('http://107.108.58.183:8080', 'POST',
data)
When I host the GAE code, I am able to process GET request ( able to
see the GetPage output ).
However, when I send a POST request via client, I see no output in
browser( which is obvious since browser did not send the POST
request). However, I see the local GAE server prints message
indicating it has received the POST request).
The question is- how can I display the data ( string "Yippy!! POST
works" here) on the web page when asked for from a browser?
I am newbie in the field and will highly appreciate any help.
Thanks,
Ankur
