That's good to know. I'm working with a third-party vendor, and I
don't trust that they'll always include that information.
For future reference, here's how I extract the post data:
import cherrypy
@expose()
def raw(self):
if cherrypy.request.method == "POST":
postdata = cherrypy.request.body.read()
# it is also possible to do this:
cl = int(cherrypy.request.headers['Content-Length'])
postdata = cherrypy.request.body.read(cl)
Thanks for the help!
