Re: [lwip-users] http post using lwip?

[Bas Prins]

Dear lwip,

I'd really appreciate some feedback on this. Would it make sense to extend the http_client.c in such a way so that I can choose whether to create HTTP_GET or HTTP_POST requests?

err_t httpc_get_file_dns(const char* server_name, u16_t port, const char* uri, const httpc_connection_t *settings,

altcp_recv_fn recv_fn, void* callback_arg, httpc_state_t **connection);

For example add parameters to that signature to specify the request type? GET/POST + optional post data ?

Something like

enum httpc_request_type {

http_get,

http_post,

};

typedef struct _httpc_request_info {

httpc_request_type type;

const char * post_data;

} httpc_request_info_t;

and add that to the existing functions and implement them accordingly in the http_client? Would that be the correct approach? Would it be valuable for the community?

Hi,

I am trying to find how to create a POST request using lwip 2.1.x stable. I can find the code that creates GET requests in https://git.savannah.nongnu.org/cgit/lwip.git/tree/src/apps/http/http_client.c?h=STABLE-2_1_x.

Is there something I can directly reuse in lwip or am I going to roll my own?

Thx

Best regards, bas
