I'm using axios to send http requests ( i used fetch also but it gives the same result ).
axios.post("http://localhost:3000/login",
{
answer: 42
},
{
headers: {
"Content-Type": "application/x-www-form-urlencoded",
},
})
In my go file I'm logging the response
func post(req *http.Request, res http.ResponseWriter) {
req.ParseForm()
fmt.Println(req.Form)
}
The log is as follows :
map[{"answer":42}:[]]
However i want it to be as follows :
map["answer":[42]]
(I get such when i use postman)
What is the issue with this.
Outgoing data for reference
UPDATE
I used request ( built-in with nodejs) and also with jQuery ajax. Both of them work well.
Its just with axios and fetch which is not working
Here is the code :
request
The following code using nodejs request
var request = require("request");
var options = { method: 'POST',
url: 'http://localhost:3000/login',
headers:
{
'cache-control': 'no-cache',
'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded' },
form: { answer: '42' } };
request(options, function (error, response, body) {
if (error) throw new Error(error);
console.log(body);
});
jQuery ajax
The following is my jQuery code
var settings = {
"async": true,
"crossDomain": true,
"url": "http://localhost:3000/login",
"method": "POST",
"headers": {
"Content-Type": "application/x-www-form-urlencoded",
"cache-control": "no-cache",
},
"data": {
"answer": "42"
}
}
$.ajax(settings).done(function (response) {
console.log(response);
});
However, I am still unable to get axios and fetch to work. If someone finds it please update the answer
You need something like this:
var querystring = require('querystring');
axios.post('http://localhost:3000/login', querystring.stringify({'answer': 42},headers: {
'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'
});
You can set query string parameters using the params config option, It will definitely works:
axios.post("http://localhost:3000/login", "", {
params: {answer: 42},
headers: {
'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'
}
})
