Property Details

input

Input stream.

If you send any data which is neither x-www-form-urlencoded nor multipart format, you will be able to read the raw POST body from this stream.

You could read x-www-form-urlencoded or multipart POST requests in raw format, but you have to read from this stream before calling any of post or files, since they will otherwise trigger the built-in parser and read all data from the stream.

Example of how to parse a JSON request:

import cjson as json
import smisk
class App(smisk.Application):
  def service(self):
    if self.request.env['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'POST':
      self.response.write(repr(json.decode(self.request.input.read())) + "\n")

App().run()

You could then send a request using curl for example:

curl --data-binary '{"Url": "http://www.example.com/image/481989943", "Position": [125, "100"]}' http://localhost:8080/

Type:: Stream

session

Current session.

Any modifications to the session must be done before output has begun, as it will add a Set-Cookie: header to the response.

Type:: object
