7930 :: How to http post nested data?

• xioren (orginal) [2021-05-06T01:58:55+02:00] view original

  I am trying to make a post request with nested data,

  
  {"keyA": {"keyB": "valueB"}}
  Run

  however MultipartEntries only accepts strings.

  MultipartEntries = openArray[tuple[name, content: string]]
  Run

  Am I missing something?

  {"keyA": """{"keyB": "valueB"}"""}

  HTTP does not support nested data, so you need to use some thing like json (how @juancarlospaco shows) or some other http encoding scheme (maybe like dotted keys`?keyA.keyB=valueB`) to send it.

  I need to use json but the post procs only accept MultipartData/Entries.

  multipart/mixed actually allow different mime type per part, but current MultipartEntry implementation do not support it.
