nimforum mirror - httpclient examples from online docs

Hi, I'm just starting with nim (0.10.2), and, at least for me, neither of the basic httpclient examples from the online documentation work for me.


import httpclient

echo(getContent("http://google.com"))

returns a 404, which seems wacky.

The POST example doesn't compile:


import httpclient

var data = newMultipartData()
data["output"] = "soap12"
data["uploaded_file"] = ("test.html", "text/html",
  "<html><head></head><body><p>test</p></body></html>")

echo postContent("http://validator.w3.org/check", multipart=data)

throws Error: undeclared identifier: 'newMultipartData' on compile.

I think the POST issue is just a mismatch between the docs and the library actually included in 0.10.2, but the GET issue baffles me.

The httpclient module has undergone quite some changes. The first example doesn't work because it's broken in 0.10.2. The second one wasn't even implemented in 0.10.2. I would recommend bootstrapping the devel branch of the compiler, but it may also work (as a workaround) to just replace the uri.nim and httpclient.nim. I hope 0.10.4 will be out soon so people won't trip over this all time.

Thanks. I'll change over to the devel branch and see what I can do.
