Hi,

I am trying to log into a web application using curl. The web app
sends a 302 redirect after posting the data (successful log in -
I can see the successful login in the web apps log files).

Maybe I am doing something wrong - but I have just copied the
code of _basicHTTP form curl.d to my own method to authenticate.

The exception I'll receive on perform is:

std.net.curl.CurlException@std/net/curl.d(3348): Send failed
since rewinding of the data stream failed on handle 7FCABA819400

My Code:


      void post(string url, const(void)[] sendData){
          HTTP client = HTTP();
          client.method = HTTP.Method.post;

client.addRequestHeader("Content-Type","application/x-www-form-urlencoded");

          scope (exit) {
              client.onReceiveHeader = null;
              client.onReceiveStatusLine = null;
              client.onReceive = null;
          }
          client.url = url;
          HTTP.StatusLine statusLine;
          ubyte[] content;
          string[string] headers;
          client.onReceive = (ubyte[] data)
          {
              content ~= data;
              return data.length;
          };

          if (sendData !is null &&
              (client.method == HTTP.Method.post || client.method
== HTTP.Method.put))
          {
              client.contentLength = sendData.length;
              client.onSend = delegate size_t(void[] buf)
              {
                  size_t minLen = std.algorithm.min(buf.length,
sendData.length);
                  if (minLen == 0) return 0;
                  buf[0..minLen] = sendData[0..minLen];
                  sendData = sendData[minLen..$];
                  return minLen;
              };
          }

          client.onReceiveHeader = (in char[] key,
                                    in char[] value)
          {
              if (auto v = key in headers)
              {
                  *v ~= ", ";
                  *v ~= value;
              }
              else
                  headers[key] = value.idup;
          };
          client.onReceiveStatusLine = (HTTP.StatusLine l) {
statusLine = l; };
          client.perform();

          // Default charset defined in HTTP RFC
          auto charset = "ISO-8859-1";
          if (auto v = "content-type" in headers)
          {
              auto m = match(cast(char[]) (*v),
regex("charset=([^;,]*)"));
              if (!m.empty && m.captures.length > 1)
              {
                  charset = m.captures[1].idup;
              }
          }
      }

Does anybody have a clue, what I am doing wrong?

Thanks,

Christian

A guess: when using the command line tool one needs to explicit enable redirects, is there something similar in the API?

Hi Jacob,

thanks for your quick response,

I haven't found one - also redirects do work with get requests without setting any parameter. I tried to set the maxRedirects to 1000 without any success.

Thanks,

Christian

I believe I've fixed this problem in this pull request:
https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/phobos/pull/860

Try using Phobos from git.

Dear Vladimir,

thank you very much for your answer - and sorry for the delay - but I had problems compiling dmd myself on osx.

I checked out dmd, runtime, phobos and tools and compiled the stuff. Unfortunately I am still getting the exception:

Maybe it's an issue with MacOSX?

My settings:
- DMD64 D Compiler v2.061
- DFLAGS=-I/usr/local/include/d2 -L-L/usr/local/lib.

Sorry about that. In my haste to answer, I've misread your question. I see now that you're using the lower-level objects directly instead of the post function. My patch fixes the behavior for the post function.

If you wish to continue using the HTTP type directly, you'll basically need to apply the same patch as in my pull request to your code, and add a client.handle.onSeek handler which implements seeking over the data you're uploading. Alternatively, have you tried constructing a custom HTTP object and passing that as the last parameter to post?

Dear Vladimir,

that's my fault - should have looked in there too. After adding those fixes it works :)

Thank you very much for your help,
