GET and POST

[franck]

HI,

this is my code
params = {}

params['fuseaction'] = '*****';
params['user'] = '***';
params['password'] = '**********';
params['num_card'] = '******';
params['date_of_birth'] = '****';

params = urllib.urlencode(params)
f = urllib.urlopen("http://bidule.com",params)
print f.read()

my contact tell me i must do a GET or fuseaction and POST for other param.

i dont know how to do this and if its possible.
someone tell me its ok to do that, but how in python?

i dont unsderstand the different between GET and POST but i know how to code
it separately.

thx in advance.

According to the urllib documentation (I've never used urllib, only
httplib), all you have to do is change:

f = urllib.urlopen("http://bidule.com",params)
to
f = urllib.urlopen("http://bidule.com?%s" % params)

Here is the example from the documentation for a GET (found at
http://www.python.org/doc/current/lib/node415.html):

I haven't whether this works or not, so I take no responsibility for any
damage caused by this code ;-)

Without knowing urllib, I would infer from the rest of the code that
you'd want to do something like this:

getparams['fuseaction'] = '*****'
postparams['num_card'] = '*****'

getparams = urllib.urlencode(getparams)
postparams = urllib.urlencode(postparams) # may not be necessary
f = urllib.urlopen("http://bidule.com?%s" % getparams, postparams)

It seems unlikely that that's what is required (but you never
know...).

If the OP can post the HTML or a link, it would be rather easier to
say what the problem is!

In which case your contact is likely talking through his or her hat. GET and
POST are HTTP methods. In any given interaction the client can do either a
GET or a POST (or one of a number of other methods: the operative word here
is ONE).

GET to fuse param et POST for the others.

dont know how do that.

I suspect what your contact means is that you have to provide the value of
(I presume you mean) fuseaction encoded in the URL, and that the rest must
be provided as POST data. This is a somewhat bizarre requirement (and their
server is obviously not written in Python, but that's another thread ...).

Try something like:

params = {}

params['user'] = '***';
params['password'] = '**********';
params['num_card'] = '******';
params['date_of_birth'] = '****';

params = urllib.urlencode(params)
f = urllib.urlopen("http://bidule.com?fuseaction=*****",params)
print f.read()

and see if that works. If not, go back to your contact for further
enlightenment. Do they mean two operations or just one?
