Hello Qooxdoo Guys,
I still have the same problem. I am sending a POST request to my cherrypy
server via the qx.io2.HttpRequest object. The data being sent is the string
representation of a dictionary. For example, using
data = {"people" : "Tom & Jerry"};
data = qx.util.Json.stringify( data );
req = new qx.io2.HttpRequest();
req.setUrl("myServerUrl");
req.setMethod("POST");
req.setMime("application/json");
req.setData( "data=" + data );
req.send();
I traced this call to qx.bom.Request.js at line 300 or so, to the code
this.__xmlhttp.send(data) The data is valid at this point.
My cherryPy server gets the request in two variables args and kwargs
(hopefully you are familiar with cherrypy)
if the data being sent from qx.bom.Request.js = {"people" : "Tom and
Jerry"}, then kwargs on my server is equal to {'data': '{"people":"Tom and
Jerry"}'}
However, if the data being sent from qx.bom.Request.js = {"people" : "Tom &
Jerry"}, then kwargs on my server is equal to {' Jerry"}': '', 'data':
'{"people":"Tom '}
The data on the server side is mangled if the data on the client side has an
ampersand in it or if it has a semicolon in it. (at least that is what I
know of so far, there are probably more)
I am probably missing something very simple. I have googled around and
looked at documentation about unicode, encoding, and character sets and have
tried many different things, but I do not see why I cannot send an ampersand
or semicolon in my input data to the server. Obviously, something is
choking on something.
Please help.
