Subject: [drakma-devel]  A simple Cookie and viewing the actual Post
Message-ID: <4EA9314D-09AD-4851-BBC9-0AD3032464DD@agentsheets.com>

I just started using drakma today and so far it seems really great but I had a couple quesitons.

First, is it possible to send a simpler for example i want my http-post to have something like this:

Cookie: SESSdc0685ed01f285dab628a3700259e6bc=rCfmWLUeugRQNAQTs14yox_DWqZyGE2fYUS8W24j4co

I tried making a drakma cookie and adding it to a cookie-jar but none of that seemed to work.

Also, is there a way to print the actual post I am sending so I can see what might be wrong with it?

Thanks a lot,

--Mike

You know about this, don't you?

Otherwise, I don't really understand your question.  Perhaps you could
tell us what exactly you tried, what happened, and what you expected
to happen.

Cheers,
Edi.

I'm sorry if my question is unclear but I just started using Drakma today and I am not very experienced with http-requests in general.   

I am trying to create an http-request that looks something like this:

POST /?q=node/create HTTP/1.1
Host: localhost:8888
Cookie: SESSdc0685ed01f285dab628a3700259e6bc=rCfmWLUeugRQNAQTs14yox_DWqZyGE2fYUS8W24j4co
Content-Length: 0
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded

I tried doing this with a cookie-jar and a cookie but the make-instance of cookie required parameters such as name which I do not have (and did not need when I made the http-request by other means).  I wanted to see the actual http-post that was being created so I could compare it to other successful http-posts and try and find my problem (is this what header-stream might help with)?

It looks like you are wanting a session cookie
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_cookie#Session_cookie). These are a
bit of a special case usage of cookies; your server issues each HTTP
client (usually a web browser) a unique ID that is used to track some
state on the server. This is generally impossible to know in advance.

If you trace the HTTP traffic in a browser, I bet you make two requests;
one where the server issues the session cookie (frequently a login
page), and then another that POSTs to node/create.

In drakma you can do the same thing, make two requests, and use the same
'drakma:cookie-jar in both requests. Some psuedo-code:

(let ((cookie-jar (make-instance 'drakma:cookie-jar)))
  (drakma:http-request
   "http://path/to/create/session"
   :method :post
   :cookie-jar cookie-jar)
 
  (drakma:http-request
   "http://path/to/create/node"
   :method :post
   :cookie-jar cookie-jar)
  )

The drakma:cookie-jar will accept the session cookie from the server in
the first http-request, and then pass it back to the server in the
second http-request. Of course, you'll need to fill out the http-request
parameters to match what your server is asking for.

Subject: [drakma-devel] http redirect following url-encodes location
Message-ID: <4F4BD77D.7090907@gmail.com>

I'm using drakma to GET data over http. It turns out that when following 
redirects, drakma uses the location in the redirection header, which it 
url-encodes. Usually this might not be a problem, but when the location 
redirected to is already url-encoded this method fails.

Is this intended behaviour?

I'm not sure what the clean solution to this would be, as decoding the 
location before using it just doesn't feel right. For the lack of a 
better solution that's what i'm doing right now though.

Any pointers in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.

Best regards,
Wilfried Nesensohn
