I was hoping to use the HTTP POST & params support in the latest versions of iPXE to perform a simple POST to a custom application, which would allow me to capture various bits of information (like the MAC & System Serial). However it seems that no matter what I do, the HTTP request is always performed as a GET.
I am unable to reproduce this problem. I see an HTTP POST show up in wireshark.
iPXE performs the HTTP request, and even seems to recognise that I've got ##params at the end of the URL. The other end of the HTTP request is a custom Sinatra application with: get "/ipxe/:uuid/discover" do puts "iPXE GET" halt(404) end post "/ipxe/:uuid/discover" do puts "iPXE POST" halt(404) end I've confirmed that only the GET handler is ever called.
Could you try using wireshark to observe what actually goes over the wire? I suspect the problem may be on your server side.
Also is there a cleaner method to perform a "pure" HTTP POST that isn't in some way abusing the chain or img* commands?
No; you have to use the img* commands. (Otherwise, where is the potential output from the POST supposed to go?)
