Usage (server side): struct soap soap; soap_init(&soap); soap_register_plugin_arg(&soap, http_form, http_form_handler); ... ... = soap_copy(&soap); // copies plugin too but not its data: plugin data is shared since fcopy is not set ... soap_done(&soap); // detach plugin (calls plugin->fdelete) You need to define a HTTP handling function at the server-side: int http_form_handler(struct soap*) which will be called from the plugin upon an HTTP POST request that matches the application/x-www-form-urlencoded content-type. The function should return an error code or SOAP_STOP to prevent the gSOAP engine from processing the message body; To parse form data in the handler, use: char *s = soap_http_get_form(soap); while (s) { char *key = soap_query_key(soap, &s); // decode next form string key char *val = soap_query_val(soap, &s); // decode next form string value (if any) ... } The soap_http_get_form() function reads an HTTP body and stores it in an internal buffer that is returned as a char*. This buffer can be used to process HTTP POST body content. The soap_query_key/val functions simply extract key-value pairs from this buffer. The handler should also produce a valid HTTP response, for example: soap_response(soap, SOAP_HTML); // use this to return HTML ... soap_response(soap, SOAP_OK); // ... or use this to return a SOAP message ... soap_send(soap, "..."); // example HTML ... soap_end_send(soap); See samples/webserver for an example HTTP POST form handling server. Warning: this plugin MUST be registered AFTER the httppost plugin. */ #include "httpform.h" #ifdef __cplusplus extern "C" { #endif const char http_form_id[] = HTTP_FORM_ID; static int http_form_init(struct soap *soap, struct http_form_data *data, int (*handler)(struct soap*)); static void http_form_delete(struct soap *soap, struct soap_plugin *p); static int http_form_parse_header(struct soap *soap, const char*, const char*); int http_form(struct soap *soap, struct soap_plugin *p, void *arg) { p->id = http_form_id; p->data = (void*)SOAP_MALLOC(soap, sizeof(struct http_form_data)); p->fdelete = http_form_delete; if (!p->data) return SOAP_EOM; if (http_form_init(soap, (struct http_form_data*)p->data, (int (*)(struct soap*))arg)) { SOAP_FREE(soap, p->data); /* error: could not init */ return SOAP_EOM; /* return error */ } return SOAP_OK; } static int http_form_init(struct soap *soap, struct http_form_data *data, int (*handler)(struct soap*)) { data->fparsehdr = soap->fparsehdr; /* save old HTTP header parser callback */ soap->fparsehdr = http_form_parse_header; /* replace HTTP header parser callback with ours */ if (handler) data->handler = handler; return SOAP_OK; } static void http_form_delete(struct soap *soap, struct soap_plugin *p) { (void)soap; SOAP_FREE(soap, p->data); /* free allocated plugin data (this function is not called for shared plugin data, but only when the final soap_done() is invoked on the original soap struct) */ } static int http_form_parse_header(struct soap *soap, const char *key, const char *val) { struct http_form_data *data = (struct http_form_data*)soap_lookup_plugin(soap, http_form_id); if (!data) return SOAP_PLUGIN_ERROR; if (!soap_tag_cmp(key, "Content-Type")) { /* check content type: you can filter any type of payloads here */ if (!soap_tag_cmp(val, "application/x-www-form-urlencoded") || !soap_tag_cmp(val, "application/x-www-form-urlencoded;*")) /* skip charset=UTF-8 etc */ { soap->fform = data->handler; return soap->error = SOAP_FORM; /* delegate body parsing to form handler */ } /* it is possible to add other payload types to handle via forms and use * as a wildcard: if (!soap_tag_cmp(val, "image/jpg") || !soap_tag_cmp(val, "image/jpg;*")) soap->error = SOAP_FORM; */ } return data->fparsehdr(soap, key, val); /* parse HTTP header */ } /******************************************************************************/ #ifdef __cplusplus } #endif
