I need to open an external link, and send some params through post method. I have read that I can use redirect() to open a link through get method, as the following code:
def get = {
redirect(url: "http://localhost:8080/test/public/cadastro/dataConfirm.html?" + "username=" + "test")
}
Apparently, redirect only works with get. Is there any command to do this by post method? Thanks.
Is your goal to have the user actually redirected to a different site via POST, or POST to a different site and get results back but stay in your site? If it is actually pushing the user to a different site then Victor's comment is the way to go.
If you are trying to send a POST to a different site, get results and stay on your site look into the Rest plugin and check out the withHttp method. There is a good example here.
There can be dependency issues when using the Rest plugin. If you have these check out the answer by ataylor in this stackoverflow post.
Server-to-server comunication via post in grails can be achieved using the following java code
. I tested it and works fine in grails. The alternatives are plugins, as #Kelly answered me, and
Apache Http Components
.

I have this site:
https://acad.unoesc.edu.br/academico/login.jsp
And I want to put info in the fields values and submit then, to get the next page and navigate in that site. Thats because I want to create an android app or something like that. Im using lua in first case, with luasocket(http).
I know that the input has its names, but I dont know how to set then and send then to the server. If someone can help me with this.
Thank you.
You can use POST method with luasocket. See the official documentation and a detailed example in this SO answer.
Since you seem to be doing authentication, you'll probably need to save the cookie value returned to you as part of the login response and then pass that cookie back to the server (otherwise your subsequent requests will fail as the server will reject those requests as non-authenticated).
Since you are sending this over https, you'll need to use LuaSec, which provides ssl.https module as replacement for the http module that luasocket provides. You may check my blog post for some example of how this can be done.
I am using httparty to send a get request and then trying to follow the redirect:
get 'https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth'
how can i follow the redirect using HTTParty?
sorry if this have been asked before, but i could not find the answer anywhere.
Thanks
Probably it's not needed now, but for someone who need.
From documentation, there is special option for automatically redirects
follow_redirects(value = true) ⇒ Object
Proceed to the location header when an HTTP response dictates a redirect. Redirects are always followed by default.
So you can use this options like that:
HTTParty.get('http://google.com', follow_redirects: true)
Guessing this is a little out of date now, what with the question being about a month old... but my understanding of the HTTParty docs is that it should automatically follow redirects, unless you set the no_follow flag. I haven't successfully tested it though (I'm a total HTTParty n00b and stumbled on this trying to find an answer to my own problem, d'oh...)
If that doesn't work, you could always read the header directly and parse the redirect manually. I've done that in Javascript AJAX requests before, it is not difficult. But you shouldn't have to do that with HTTParty.
I have awebsite, lets just call it search, in one of my browserpages open. search has a form, which when submitted runs queries on a database to which I don't have direct access. The problem with search is that the interface is rather horrible (one cannot save the aforementioned queries etc.)
I've analyzed the request (with a proxy) which is send to the server via search and I am able to replicate it. The server even sends back the correct result, but the browser is not able to open it. (Same origin policy). Do you have any ideas on how I could tackle this problem?
The answer to your question is: you can't. At least not without using a proxy as suggested in the answer by Walter, and that would mean your web site visitors would have to knowingly login to your web site using their other web site's credentials (hmm doesn't sound good...)
The reason you can't do this is related to security, if you could run a script on the tab next to the one with the site open (which is what I'm guessing you want to do), you would be able to do a CSRF attack and get any data you wish and send it to hack.com
This is, of course, assuming that there has to be a login somewhere in the process, otherwise there's no reason for you to not be able to create a simple form which posts the required query and gets the info.
If you did have access to the mentioned website, you would be able to support cross domain xml using JSONP.
It is not possible to bypass the same origin policy in javascript (assuming that you want to do it with that considering your question). You need to set up a proxy server side that is doing the request for you and returns the html.
A simple way of doing this in PHP would be like this:
<?php
echo file_get_contents("http://searchdomainname.com" . "?" . http_build_query($_GET, '', '&'));
?>
Is there a web application for testing post requests? What I imagine it'd be like is you would visit the site and then it would redirect you to a unique URL. You could then send a post request to the URL which would display the request after it was received.
Alternative from Microsoft: WFetch
POST request instruction
This looks like it would be more along the lines of what you're looking for:

Rest Client is a Firefox Add On that I have used in the past as an Http Post/Get testing tool.
The "net" tab in the Firebug plugin for Firefox will show you the contents of all requests including POSTs. You can also intercept and modify them with TamperData.
Fiddler will do the same for Internet Explorer and other windows programs. Wireshark will also show this information.
There are multiple approaches. If you want to do automated browser-based testing, you could use Selenium/Java or Windmill/Python. Alternatively, if you want to perform white-box testing, you can write scripts that make a http post request to the web application (e.g. using httplib if you are using Python), obtains the response and verifies that the response is as expected.
RequestBin allows you to create a temporary URL and view the last twenty requests.
With PutsReq you can test requests and simulate responses using JavaScript.
So I'm writing a post on my wall and type a URL into the main body of the post. As soon as I finish the URL, Facebook creates a little section underneath which has the title, description, and an image from the url I typed.
Without getting too indepth, how is this done and what is the best way of make something similar myself?
jQuery (or some other framework that lets you do Ajax easily) to communicate between browser client and webserver
PHP/ASP.NET/Python (or some other scripting framework on the backend) to fetch the url
Facebook also has a meta data specification you might be interested in, to let developers further define what gets shown in a Facebook page.
I believe Facebook is written in PHP. And PHP does this easily.
FOpen can be used to access files on other sites. There are other functions but this will get you started. Then it's a matter of parsing the html you get from the url to get what you want.

You have a couple choices. You can fetch it using Ajax from the client; or you can fetch it from your server.
If doing it from your server in asp.net then you need to use HttpWebRequest.
FB does an asynchronous JavaScript call to fetch that data without reloading the window you're on. Lookup ajax and libraries like jquery do this: http://api.jquery.com/category/ajax/
