Re: lua-http - How to send a POST?

[Владислав Гришин <vladislav.grishin@...>]

example from my script . version  of lua is 5.1


http = require 'socket.http'

http.TIMEOUT = 1 -- sets the timeout for all I/O operations;
http.USERAGENT = "goip_smsd" --: default user agent reported to server.

           reqbody = 
"line="..channel.."&smskey="..list[1].."&action=SMS&telnum="..list[2].."&smscontent="..list[1]..list[3].."&send=Send"

            local body, code, headers, status = http.request {method = 
"POST",
                                                   url = 
"http://"..host.."/default/en_US/sms_info.html";,
                                                   headers = { 
["Authorization"] = "Basic "..(mime.b64("USERNAME:PASSWORD")),
["content-length"] = string.len(reqbody),
["content-type"]   = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"},
                                                   source = 
ltn12.source.string(reqbody)
--                                                 sink = 
ltn12.sink.file(io.stdout)
                                                   }
            code = tostring(code)
            if body ~= nil and code == '200' then

                print('body:' .. tostring(body))
                print('code:' .. tostring(code))
--print('headers:' .. util.tableToString(headers))
                for k,v in pairs(headers) do
                    print (k.." "..v)
                end
                print("POST send_sms coro: " .. coro .. "status:" .. 
tostring(status))
--print('respbody:' .. tostring(respbody[1]))
                return true
            else
                return false
            end
