Very new to Python and Micropython, I need to retrieve values from a html form (textboxes).
My form is pretty simple
def handle_root(client):
myform = """
<form action="save_reco" method="post">
<input type="text" name="firstname" />
<br/>
<input type="text" name="lastname" />
<br/>
<input type="submit" value="Send" />
</form>
"""
send_response(client,myform)
def send_response(client, payload, status_code=200):
client.sendall("HTTP/1.0 {} OK\r\n".format(status_code))
client.sendall("Content-Type: text/html\r\n")
client.sendall("Content-Length: {}\r\n".format(len(payload)))
client.sendall("\r\n")
if len(payload) > 0:
client.sendall(payload)
my save_reco function looks like (it's based on several examples from the net).
def handle_save_reco(client, request):
match = ure.search("firstname=([^&]*)&lastname=(.*)",request)
print(match.group(0).decode("utf-8")
print(match.group(1).decode("utf-8")
....
def start(port=80):
addr = socket.getaddrinfo('0.0.0.0', port)[0][-1]
global server_socket
server_socket = socket.socket()
server_socket.bind(addr)
server_socket.listen(1)
while True:
client, addr = server_socket.accept()
client.settimeout(5.0)
request = b""
try:
while not "\r\n\r\n" in request:
request += client.recv(512)
except OSError:
pass
try:
url = ure.search("(?:GET|POST) /(.*?)(?:\\?.*?)? HTTP", request).group(1).decode("utf-8").rstrip("/")
except:
url = ure.search("(?:GET|POST) /(.*?)(?:\\?.*?)? HTTP", request).group(1).rstrip("/")
if url == "":
handle_root(client)
elif url == "save_reco":
handle_save_reco(client, request)
else:
handle_not_found(client, url)
client.close()
Problem is the the data comes empty when I submit the form.
I suppose I miss something
