HTTP POST in processing.net for Tumblr API
Feb 10th, 2009, 12:31am  
I am writing a little Tumblr client for processing. (http://www.tumblr.com/docs/api#api_write) I am having trouble figuring out how to utilize the http POST command using client.write(" HTTP GARBAGE HERE")

Does anyone have an example of using the Post command in Processing that I can look at?

Thanks in advance.

I could post the code I'm working with... but I'd rather figure it out for myself.

Here's a quick overview of a POST request:

Code:
POST /foo.cgi HTTP/1.1
Host: www.bar.com
Content-Length: 24
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded

I made this in Java (to be used in Processing) once (to upload data, but the POST mechanism is there): Re: save to web --- image export

I haven't tried to do it with pure Processing's Network library, but the base principles apply there.
