Request.Getparameter in HandleURL does not seem to work

[Michel_Bujardet]

I am trying to set up a web service that takes a POST request in HandleURL.

I am hitting the program with a POST request and a request of test=bob

I get Request.entity as “test=bob” but when I try

Request.GetParameter("test")

it returns nothing.

I was expecting it to return “Bob”. Am I missing something or is it a bug ?

I can always parse Request.Entity myself as a workaround, but I would prefer GetParameter to work.

Is test=bob in the url or in the body of the request? GetParameter is only for the parameters on the url because you could have identical url and body parameters and have no way to get to them. In other words, if the parameters are in the body, it’s up to you to do the parsing.

It is in the body. So I will do the parsing. Thank you.
