Hi all:
I'm trying expose a function for REST, more specifically to accept HTTP
POST request with XML message in the body. Following this article
http://www.web2py.com/AlterEgo/default/show/197, I use *request.body.read()*to
get the xml message. The code is:
def api():
*xml = request.body.read() # retrieve the raw POST data*
logger.debug("Message XML Content: %s" % xml )
if len(xml) == 0:
xml = '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?><root>no post
data</root>'
raise HTTP(400) #malformed
else:
now = datetime.datetime.now()
date_time = now.strftime("%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S")
db.messages.validate_and_insert(date_time=date_time,xmlcontent=XML(xml))
raise HTTP(200) #OK
When I test the code with curl and a XML message in a file everything
works, web2py extract the xml message and raise HTTP(200). But when on a
production environment (other server sending HTTP Post requests)
*request.body.read()
*can't read the body. In fact there's no error, simply the xml variable is
empty.
I've capture a trace with wireshark and the production server is really
sending HTTP Post requests with XML. It appears as:
POST /cosa/default/api HTTP/1.1

Any idea what is happenning? Why web2py is not able to read the body? What
am I doing wrong?
Thanks in advance
