RE: xml post

[Matt L. <mat...@av...>]

Below is a conf file I have tried to use (unsuccessfully) to post an xml
file.

########### GENERAL SECTION ################################

 

BATCH_NAME= nomadeskpoll

CLIENTS_NUM_MAX=1 # Same as CLIENTS_NUM

INTERFACE=eth0

NETMASK=16

IP_ADDR_MIN= 192.168.2.71

IP_ADDR_MAX= 192.168.2.128

CYCLES_NUM=1

URLS_NUM= 1

 

########### URL SECTION ####################################

 

URL=http://192.168.2.56/nomadesk/index.phpTask?Navigator::Task=ReceiveMe
ssage

URL_SHORT_NAME="Poll"

REQUEST_TYPE=POST

UPLOAD_FILE=./conf-examples/poll2.xml

TIMER_URL_COMPLETION = 5000

TIMER_AFTER_URL_SLEEP = 5000

 

The xml file looks like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"
standalone="yes"?><Poll><Accounts><Account><AccountName>nmua000014</Acco
untName><Password>aventiv23</Password></Account></Accounts><LocationID>b

/ClientVersion><CreationTstamp>10/28/2008 7:00:30
AM</CreationTstamp></Poll>

 

And my command line: 

curl-loader -f ./conf-examples/nomadeskpoll.conf

 

wireshark sees this:

In the sourceforge TODO doc for curl-loader I see that "transparent
support for POST-ing some file, e.g. a SOAP file" is on the TODO list
for the next beta.  This seems to be exactly what I need.  So would
there be a non-transparent way (workaround) to achieve this same thing
in the current release?

 

Thank you,

Matt Love

I am trying to do an xml post with curl-loader similar to the curl
commad below:

curl -F file=@/tmp/addexistingaccount.xml
http://localhost/nomadesk/index.php?TaskNavigator::Task=ReceiveMessage

How is a similar command created in curl-loader .conf file?  I have
tried setting the UPLOAD_FILE tag, to no avail.

 

I am trying to guess, what you are doing, since PRF was not provided,

which is normally including your configuration, command-line, etc

 

Could it be, that you missed that it should be POST or POST after GET?

 

You may wish to run your curl command line, collect the capture by
wireshark and attach it.

 

There are several examples in curl-loader examples, like:

curl-loader/conf-examples/post-form-tokens-fr-file.conf

 

Still, without the PRF and the capture, it is just guessing.

 

Sincerely,

Robert Iakobashvili
