To whom it may concern: I tried posting vars in json format, with content-type: application/json header, to my web2py application.
When the above test is run on my laptop, i.e. requests are sent directly to web2py's rocket web server, recent web2py (the 2.5.1-stable) can successfully decode the payload into request.vars, as expected as mentioned in https://groups.google.com/d/msg/web2py/9YdxVpuJlA8/ek0zJae5U9YJ But when I deploy my application to my production server, the same web2py 2.5.1-stable can not recognize the payload and the request.vars are always empty. How come? My production server is running a web2py (was 2.4.6, and then manually overwritten by those files in 2.5.1's web2py_src.zip), behind apache's mod_wsgi, (which itself is behind a global nginx, but that architecture is a webfaction convention which I think is not relevent). Below is the request full content: *POST /examples/simple_examples/status/foo/bar.json HTTP/1.1*content-type: application/jsonHost: example.comContent-Length:14user-agent: fake Connection:Keep-Alive {"foo": "bar"} And below is part of the web2py response, showing the request content. You can see web2py got the correct content type header, but still fail to decode the json payload in request. env: content_length: 14 content_type: application/json http_connection: close http_forwarded_request_uri: /examples/simple_examples/status/foo/bar.json http_host: sandbox.xxxxxxxx.com http_http_x_forwarded_proto: http http_https: off http_user_agent: fake http_x_forwarded_for: 107.23.xxx.xxx http_x_forwarded_host: sandbox.xxxxxxxx.com http_x_forwarded_proto: http http_x_forwarded_server: sandbox.xxxxxxxx.com http_x_forwarded_ssl: off post_vars: vars: wsgi: environ: CONTENT_LENGTH: 14 CONTENT_TYPE: application/json -- --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
