Home: Perl Programming Help: Beginner: Capture HTTP request using Perl?

wideback New User Jul 9, 2007, 6:21 AM Post #1 of 6 (236 views) Capture HTTP request using Perl? Can't Post I want to capture the body of an HTTP request using Perl 5.6. The HTTP request will call my script, once it does I want to capture the body of the HTTP request. Are there any modules that will allow me to do this quickly? Thanks

[In reply to] Can't Post An xml document will be embedded in the actual body of the request. When the script is activated I want to grab the body, similar to processing post/get variables except I want to get the HTTP body. (This post was edited by wideback on Jul 9, 2007, 10:11 AM)

If nobody else here replies, try www.perlmonks.com or the perl forum at www.tek-tips.com or www.devshed.com -------------------------------------------------

[In reply to] Can't Post I'm going to restate my question (in case someone else takes a look). I have a client using ajax and a server running apache/perl. At some point the client creates an HTTP post request to the server (URL pointing to http://server-address/cgi-bin/my_script.pl) with an xml document in the body of the request. With "my_script.pl" I want to read the xml document. How can I do this? (This post was edited by wideback on Jul 9, 2007, 12:04 PM)

The variable 'POSTDATA' found withing the HTTP request contains the body of the HTTP message. It can be accessed in the same way as reading fields from a post form. ie: use CGI qw (:standard); foreach $p in param(){ if($p eq "POSTDATA"){ print "" . param($p) . "\n"; } } Thanks for taking a look KevinR
