Hi everyone, I need some information.
It is possible to make an HTTP POST request?

example: ℎ𝑡𝑡𝑝: //192.168.1.10: xxxx / example / 999

and send attached a json file?

Thank you

@nikyred

Have you tried the neoAjaxSend command ?

neoAjax (visualneo.com)

@nikyred you can find more informaion about neoAjax here:

https://visualneo.com/forum/topic/neoajax-plugin

And also here (how to send headers):

thanks for the replies.
With this plug in is it possible to insert also a json file in the body?

#5 · June 19, 2022, 12:06 pm

@nikyred you probably don't want to "insert a json file in the body", but to send JSON data to a server script or API.
You can try something like this for example:

CreateEmptyObject [mydata]
SetVar [mydata.firstName] "John"
SetVar [mydata.lastName] "Smidth"
SetVar [mydata.age] 48
SetVar [mydata.gender] "Male"
neoAjaxSend "https://apps.visualneo.com/neoapptest.php" "POST" "[mydata]" "text" "parseData2" "error"

or

BeginJS
  $App.mydata = {
     firstName: "John",
     lastName: "Smith",
     age: 48,
     gender: "Male"
  };
EndJS
neoAjaxSend "https://apps.visualneo.com/neoapptest.php" "POST" "[mydata]" "text" "parseData2" "error"

or

SetVar [mydata] {firstName:'John',lastName:'Smith',age:48,gender:'Male'}
neoAjaxSend "https://apps.visualneo.com/neoapptest.php" "POST" "[mydata]" "text" "parseData2" "error"

Note that there is a sample app included with VisualNEO Web where you can see how to get server response.

Ok, thanks for the replies.
When I make a POST request, the server returns me a response. where should i store it?

I saw the example, but there is a button for the SEND and a button for the LOAD,

but when I make a POST request in my program the server responds

#7 · June 20, 2022, 10:38 am

@nikyred with SEND you can use both POST and GET requests.
When using neoAjaxSend you can define a subroutine to manage the server response. In the included sample its name is parseData2.
Take a look at that subroutine to understand how to manage the JSON response.

Regards.

Perfect thanks, I'll check it better.

I wanted to ask another question, I saw that VisualNeo WIN can also make a POST request to a server, but is it also possible to send json data? i was thinking of uploading a json file in variable and then attaching it. could it be done?

#9 · June 20, 2022, 11:02 am

@nikyred VisualNEO Win doesn't support JSON data management.
Although there is a third party plugin wich offers that functionality (I have not tested it):

Hello everybody.
In the example program, I don't understand how "Container1" is related to the button code.
In the code I don't see the reference to "Container1".

CreateEmptyObject [mydata]
SetVar [mydata.firstName] "Luis"
SetVar [mydata.lastName] "Hernández"
SetVar [mydata.age] 48
SetVar [mydata.gender] "Male"
neoAjaxSend "https://apps.visualneo.com/neoapptest.php" "POST" "[mydata]" "text" "parseData2" "error"

Thank you

Hi, Could you give me a hand to write the code?
under the attributes:

Url: http://192.168.1.100:8100/work/123456

Method: POST

Post body(json):

{

"pass":"123456789",

"@START":"user1",

"@END":"user2"

}

Thanks

#12 · June 28, 2022, 3:15 pm

Hi @nikyred

About your question with button code and "container 1", just take a look at the code :

neoAjaxSend "https://apps.visualneo.com/neoapptest.php" "POST" "[mydata]" "text" "parseData2" "error"

parseData2 is a subroutine. In this subroutine you find this code : SetObjectHTML "Container1" "[data]"

Hope this helps !

OK ,

thank you .

#14 · June 29, 2022, 9:49 am

@nikyred try this:

CreateEmptyObject [mydata]
SetVar [mydata('pass')] "123456789"
SetVar [mydata('@START')] "user1"
SetVar [mydata('@END')] "user2"
neoAjaxSend "http://192.168.1.100:8100/work/123456" "POST" "[mydata]" "json" "parseData" "error"

Regards.

#15 · July 7, 2022, 2:14 pm

Thanks for your example.
Can I also use parseData2 as a subroutine?

#16 · July 7, 2022, 5:02 pm

@nikyred not sure about understanding your question but you can include as many subroutines as you need and you can use whatever name you want to call them.

#17 · July 29, 2022, 4:20 pm

Scusate se torno sull',argomento ma posso ancora risolverlo.

Ho creato l'applicazione, come suggerito, ma ho allegato questo errore

Grazie

questo è il mio codice:

CreateEmptyObject [ i miei dati ]

SetVar [ mydata ( 'pass' )] "123456789"

SetVar [ dati personali ( '@START' )] "utente1"

SetVar [ dati personali ( '@END' )] "utente2"

neoAjaxSend "http://192.168.1.100:8100/work/123456" "POST" "[mydata]" "json" "parseData" "error"

@nikyred please note you can't include spaces in variable names.
Also be sure not to add spaces between [ character and the variable name.

This is valid:

[myVariable]

These are not valid:

[my Variable]
[ myVariable]
[myVariable ]
[my#Variable]

Variable names are pretty flexible as long as you follow a few rules:

Start them with a letter.
After the first letter, you can use numbers, as well as letters and underscores.
Don’t use any of JavaScript’s reserved keywords nor special characters (spaces, #, @, %...)

Regards.

#19 · July 30, 2022, 3:05 pm

Thank you for your answer.
In my software no spaces added and the variables are ok.

I tried to write a python script and everything is working.
The server, with the python script, replies to me, see below:
{"𝑖𝑑": 100000010000010017, "𝑠𝑡𝑎𝑡𝑢𝑠": "𝑠𝑢𝑐𝑐𝑒𝑠𝑠"}

This is the software I wrote:

CreateEmptyObject [mydata]
SetVar [mydata('pass')] "123456789"
SetVar [mydata('@START')] "user1"
SetVar [mydata('@END')] "user2"
neoAjaxSend "http://192.168.1.100:8100/work/123456" "POST" "[mydata]" "json" "parseData2" "error"

I wanted to ask you a question.
Could the subroutine be wrong for the type of response?

attached my subroutine

Thanks for the invaluable support.
I bought this software for this function and I hope I will be able to fix it

@nikyred

I am not experienced in Python, nor can I access "http://192.168.1.100:8100/work/123456" (which is a special ip address of your Router) ... so I am unable to determine if the result you posted is a JSON object or a stringified version of it.

In the subroutine, you need to extract the value of the object item with the key of "id".

If the object is being returned in a stringified format, you will need to ...

ParseJSON "[data]" [resultObject]

Then, the value of the item with the key of "id" can be extracted using ...

SetVar "[returnedID]" "[resultObject.id]"

After that, you can ...

SetObjectHTML "Container1" "[returnedID]"

If this does not work, can you post the Python script you used ?
