ruby http爬虫中的 :body 用法问题

require 'http'
url = 'http://localhost/b.php'
data = 'whoami=whoami'
html = HTTP.via('127.0.0.1',8080).headers('Content-Type'=> 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded').post(url, :body => data)
puts html

引用perl6 中的 User-agent模块中的一段文本:

Adds the form data, supplied either as a Hash, an Array of Pair,
or in a named parameter style, to the POST request (it doesn't
make sense on most other request types.) The default is to use
'application/x-www-form-urlencoded' and 'multipart/form-data' can be used
by providing the ':multipart' adverb.  Alternatively a previously applied
"content-type" header of either 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'
or 'multipart/form-data' will be respected and in the latter case any
applied boundary marker will be retained.

perl6中, http-useragent中的 add-form-data 函数会自动添加如下头:

Content-Type : application/x-www-form-urlencoded

但在 ruby http模块中， 当你发送如下POST数据时:

data = "cmd=whoami"

html = HTTP.post(url, body:data)

原始数据头为:

POST /b.php HTTP/1.1
Connection: close
Host: localhost
User-Agent: http.rb/3.0.
Content-Length: 

cmd=whoami

些数据并没有 Contype-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded 头, 此时虽然发送了数据过去， 但服务端并不会接收到(因为少了Contype-Type:app......这一个header)

如果改用如下代码， Contype-Type: appli..... 头会默认为你加上。

data = {‘cmd’=>'whoami'}

html = HTTP.post(url, form:data)

原始数据包为:

POST /b.php HTTP/1.1
Connection: close
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
Host: localhost
User-Agent: http.rb/3.0.
Content-Length: 

cmd=whoami

form与body的差别是， form为hash类型，  body为字符串型。

为了方使测试， 还是body比起form方便得多。

只是每次使用时， 记得加上：

Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded

示例代码:

require 'http'
url = 'http://localhost/b.php'
data = 'whoami=whoami'
html = HTTP.via('127.0.0.1',).headers('Content-Type'=> 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded').post(url, :body => data)
puts html
