Hi, in an HTML form with a RESTXQ POST action, do I really have to declare %rest:form-param() for every param, or is there a way to pass the full query component in one parameter? Best, Daniel

Hi Daniel, RTFM. Simply pass the body in %rest:POST("{$body}"). Sorry for disturbing! Daniel

Hi Daniel, another way is to use request:* functions [1] available for programmatic inspection of the request. Cheers, M. [1] https://docs.basex.org/wiki/Request_Module

Thanks for the hint Marco, I just tried request:parameter-names(): that one works with GET but with POST I get an empty-sequence, I am not sure what the problem is here. I can access the full (unparsed) body, though (I can use that). Daniel

Are you setting the mime type to "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"? This is the prerequisite in order to get the body of a post parsed to form parameters. M.

the mime type seems correct, all params are being sent. I do not have problems getting the body, only request:parameter-names() does not give any values. (request:header works, for example)

I set up this restxq [1]. And call it with something like [2]. Got an output of [3] which looks like what I expect. M. [1] module namespace t = "urn:test";
declare
   %rest:path("test")
   %rest:POST
   %rest:consumes("application/x-www-form-urlencoded")
   %output:method("html")
function t:test() {
  <html>
    <body>
      <p>{request:parameter-names() ! (. || "=" ||
request:parameter(.))}</p>
    </body>
  </html>
};
[2] curl --location --request POST 'http://localhost:8984/test' \ --header 'Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded' \ --data-urlencode 'param1=Hello' \ --data-urlencode 'param2=World'
[3]
<html>
<body>
<p>param1=Hello param2=World</p>
</body>
</html>

hmm, what is wrong with this stripped example? ######## form.xqm: module namespace page = 'http://basex.org/examples/web-page'; declare %rest:path("/esv/fun/form") %rest:single
function page:form() {

  let $body :=
  <div>
    <form action="/esv/test-form" id="myform2" method="post">
      <input type="text" name="foo"></input>
      <input type="hidden" name="key" value="key"/>
      <input type="submit" value="submit"></input>
    </form>
 </div>
  return (web:response-header(map {'method':'xhtml'}),
          $body)
};
######## test-form.xqm: module namespace esv = 'esv/queries'; declare %rest:POST("{$body}") %rest:form-param("key", "{$key}") %rest:path("/esv/test-form") %rest:consumes("application/x-www-form-urlencoded") %rest:single %output:method("text") function esv:test-form( $body as xs:string, $key as xs:string ) { "parameter-names(): " || request:parameter-names(), "$body: " || $body, "$key: " || $key }; ######## output: parameter-names(): $body: foo=bar&key=key $key: key
