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>

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)

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.

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).

Hi Daniel,
another way is to use request:* functions [1] available for programmatic inspection of the request.
Cheers,

Hi Daniel,

RTFM. Simply pass the body in %rest:POST("{$body}").

Sorry for disturbing!

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
