How to test POST requests with h2load (nghttp2) - post

I am using h2load (nghttp2) to test a PHP served server. The request type should be POST.
I use the following command, but get the error in server:
h2load http://192.168.10.190:8009/echoservice/ping \
-d post_data \
-H 'content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded' \
-t 12 -c 400 -n1000
Invalid request (Malformed HTTP request)
The file post_data contains string:
msg=FromClient
What is the problem with this command?
UPDATE 1:
When I use h2load for GET requests, I get Invalid request (Malformed HTTP request) too! wrk tests are successful. Hence, no problem with server!
In case of gRPC, h2load tests were successful.

Use -H, --header=<HEADER> option and set :method as POST.
-H: ':method: POST'

RestClient syntax for file uploads

Following the indications provided by this gem , testing in the Rails console the RestClient
RestClient.post "https://upload.twitter.com/1.1/media/upload.json?media_category=tweet_image", :myfile => File.new("/Users/main/Desktop/ss2022-11-03_11.39.11.png", 'rb')
one can assert that the file exists by changing its path. Once verified, the response returns
400 Bad Request. So the request is malformed. Alas, I do not grasp what the second element of the File.new represents
The version 1.1 API documentation provides a suggestion console test
twurl -X POST -H upload.twitter.com "/1.1/media/upload.json?media_category=TWEET_IMAGE&additional_owners=3805104374" -f adsapi-heirarchy.png -F media
the response is the same whether the additional_owners is included or not (logical, it is optional).
What is missing in this sequence?
Thr translation of the twurl syntax to curl syntax would be:
curl "https://upload.twitter.com/1.1/media/upload.json?media_category=tweet_image&additional_owners=3805104374" --data-urlencode #/Users/main/Desktop/adsapi-heirarchy.png --data-urlencode 'media'

why is this parse.com rest api request failing?

i'm trying to send a parse.com push notification from ruby 1.8.7.
i got a test working with curl. but with ruby's net::http i'm getting Timeout::Error: Resource temporarily unavailable
how can i debug this? i don't know how to see why the parse server is responding differently or otherwise see what's happening. i tried sending the request to my own server and the headers looked ok to me.
i simplified what i'm doing to this:
http = Net::HTTP.new('api.parse.com', 443)
response = http.post("/1/push", "{\"where\":{},\"data\":{\"alert\":\"Elliot net http json test 1\"}}", {"X-Parse-Application-Id"=>"xxxxx", "Content-Type"=>"application/json", "X-Parse-REST-API-Key"=>"xxxxx"})
the json there is hard to read, it's from:
api_req = {:where => {}, :data => {:alert => "Elliot net http json test 1"}}.to_json
puts api_req
# {"where":{},"data":{"alert":"Elliot net http json test 1"}}
i also tried several other ways of sending a request with net::http. same result.
the curl request that worked was:
curl -X POST \
-H "X-Parse-Application-Id: xxxxxx" \
-H "X-Parse-REST-API-Key: xxxxx" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"where": {},
"data": {
"alert": "Elliot curl test #4"
}
}' \
https://api.parse.com/1/push
i'm not using parse-ruby-client because i ran into problems with dependencies assuming a newer version of ruby. all i need to do is send some simple push notifications, and it seems like this should work without too much trouble.
can anyone help me get this working or tell me how to get some useful info about what's happening to debug?
As per the REST API Developers guide,
All API access is over HTTPS, and accessed via the https://api.parse.com domain.
So all you need to do is to add http.use_ssl = true.

Convert the following CURL PUT to test the JSON request in rails

How do I convert the following CURL PUT request to rspec and test the behaviour of JSON parser.
curl -D - -X PUT --data "not json" -H "Content-Type: application/json" http://localhost:3000
And how to check the response? Thank you in advance.
The best is to use vcr gem https://github.com/vcr/vcr
Simply create script like in https://github.com/vcr/vcr#usage but with proper HTTP request.
VCR.use_cassette("json_test") do
req = Net::HTTP::Put.new('http://localhost:3000', 'not json')
req.content_type = 'application/json'
res = Net::HTTP.get_response(req)
end
With this real HTTP request will be recorded once and in rspec local file will be used instead.
You can use the -i option:
-i, --include
(HTTP) Include the HTTP-header in the output. The HTTP-header includes things like server-name, date of the document, HTTP-version and more...
from http://curl.haxx.se/docs/manpage.html

curl POST request empty in ZF2 Rest API

I am testing my ZF2 Rest Module that is running on localhost, by sending curl POST requests from the same box.
curl -i -X POST -H "Content-Type: Application/json" -d '{username":"xyz","password":"xyz"}' http://localhost/api/login
In the corresponding controller and action, I have tried returning the POST parameters, but an empty array is returned always
var_dump($this->getRequest()); // returns: array(0){}
var_dump($_POST); // returns: array(0){}
If I switch from POST to GET with
curl -i -G -H "Content-Type: Application/json" -d '{username":"xyz","password":"xyz"}' http://localhost/api/login
it actually seems to work
var_dump($_GET); // returns: array(1) {["{"username":"xyz","password":"xyz"}"]=>string(0) ""}
Why is the POST request failing to pass/extract the parameters?
PHP only populates $_POST for form urlencoded POST data. You've explicitly set the content type to JSON, so the PHP way to access this would be:
file_get_contents("php://input");
In ZF2, I believe you want:
$this->getRequest()->getContent();
and in practice, you'll probably want to run this through json_decode().

post file using ruby curl easy.http_put (data)

I have a task to send a file using HTTP PUT in ruby.
In Command prompt i am able to get success response using the following command.
curl -X PUT -vN https://myexample.com/blah/myaccount --insecure -H "Connection: keep-alive" -H "Content-Type: audio/wav" -H "Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64" -d #/myfile.wav
While trying to send the request using Curl::Easy in ruby. I get a error response code stating something wrong with audio.
c = Curl::Easy.new("https://myexample.com/blah/myaccount")
c.timeout = 30
c.ssl_verify_host = false
c.http_put ( "Content-Transfer-Encoding=base64;Connection=keep-alive;Content-Type=audio%2fwav;#{File.read(/myfile.wav)}")
