http-get

So we have [HttpPost], which is an optional attribute. I understand this restricts the call so it can only be made by an HTTP POST request. My question is why would I want to do this? Imagine the following: [HttpGet] public ActionResult Edit(int id) { ... } [HttpPost] public ActionResult Edit(MyEditViewModel myEditViewModel) { ... } This wouldn't be possible unless the ActionMethodSelectorAttributes HttpGet and HttpPost where used. This makes it really simple to create an edit view. All the action links just points right back to the controller. If the view model validates false, you just pop

Update The accepted answer was good for last year but today I would use the package everyone else uses: https://github.com/mikeal/request Original I'm trying to grab google's logo and save it to my server with node.js. This is what I have right now and doesn't work: var options = { host: 'google.com', port: 80, path: '/images/logos/ps_logo2.png' }; var request = http.get(options); request.on('response', function (res) { res.on('data', function (chunk) { fs.writeFile(dir+'image.png', chunk, function (err) { if (err) throw err; console.log('It\'s saved!'); }); }); }); How can I get this working?

What is the best way to issue a http get in VB.net? I want to get the result of a request like http://api.hostip.info/?ip=68.180.206.184 In VB.NET: Dim webClient As New System.Net.WebClient Dim result As String = webClient.DownloadString("http://api.hostip.info/?ip=68.180.206.184") In C#: System.Net.WebClient webClient = new System.Net.WebClient(); string result = webClient.DownloadString("http://api.hostip.info/?ip=68.180.206.184"); You can use the HttpWebRequest class to perform a request and retrieve a response from a given URL. You'll use it like: Try Dim fr As System.Net.HttpWebRequest

I am working with a GSM SIM900 and an Arduino Uno. I am using AT commands for the SIM900. I am successfully getting data from GET requests and showing on the serial monitor, but after the AT+HTTPREAD command I want to store data into a variable. How can I do this? I am getting a JSON Object from the web server and I want to get the Status property from that object and save it into a variable. #include <SoftwareSerial.h> SoftwareSerial gprsSerial(2,3); void setup() { gprsSerial.begin(9600); Serial.begin(9600); Serial.println("Con"); delay(2000); Serial.println("Done!..."); gprsSerial.flush();

I'm trying to build a restful API and I'm struggling on how to serialize JSON data to a HTTP query string . There are a number of mandatory and optional arguments that need to be passed in the request, e.g (represented as a JSON object below): { "-columns" : [ "name", "column" ], "-where" : { "-or" : { "customer_id" : 1, "services" : "schedule" } }, "-limit" : 5, "return" : "table" } I need to support a various number of different clients so I'm looking for a standardized way to convert this json object to a query string. Is there one, and how does it look? Another alternative is to allow
