I am trying to submit a HTTP POST request into a web server that runs IIS.
curl -X POST -d
but I am getting an HTML page definition in return.
I have looked and didn't find any match, your support will be appreciated.

I'm trying to deploy a Google Apps Script as a web app, but while I have no problem doing GET requests, I'm having trouble with POST requests.
My code is very simple:
function doGet(request) {
var result = JSON.stringify({ data: 'Thanks, I received the GET request' });
return ContentService.createTextOutput(result).setMimeType(ContentService.MimeType.JSON);
}
function doPost(request) {
var result = JSON.stringify({ data: 'Thanks, I received the POST request' });
return ContentService.createTextOutput(result).setMimeType(ContentService.MimeType.JSON);
}
I deployed the web app with "Execute the app as: Me" and "Who has access to the app: Anyone, even anonymous". Every time I do some change I re-deploy it with a new version ("Project version: New").
After publishing, my curl GET request works perfectly:
> curl -L https://script.google.com/macros/s/$SCRIPT_ID/exec
{"data":"Thanks, I received the GET request"}
However, my POST request (curl -L -XPOST https://script.google.com/macros/s/$SCRIPT_ID/exec) just shows me a generic Google HTML page saying "Sorry, unable to open the file at this time. Please check the address and try again".
I tried sending some data and providing a content type, but nothing changed. I also tried changing the output type to just ContentService.createTextOutput("OK"), but it didn't work either. Curiously, deleting doPost changes the error message to "Script function not found: doPost" as expected. If it makes any difference, this script is attached to a Google spreadsheet.
Are there any special permissions I need to give to the script for POST requests specifically?
It seems that the problem was with my usage of curl, on subtle differences between using -XPOST and not using it. As suggested by Tanaike, changing from:
curl -L -XPOST https://script.google.com/macros/s/$SCRIPT_ID/exec
to
curl -L -d '' https://script.google.com/macros/s/$SCRIPT_ID/exec
Solved the issue. Even though curl helpfully says "Unnecessary use of -X or --request, POST is already inferred" when I do a request with -XPOST and a payload, its behavior is different in the presence of redirects. -XPOST forces all subsequent requests after a redirect to be made using POST as a method. On the other hand, if I don't specify -XPOST, the requests after the first POST are made as GET requests. I don't know if this is curl's intended behavior, but it's certainly unintuitive.
I can curl a website URL by passing on some header params. I am trying to get the same result on the browser but I cannot build the URL for the browser in the right way.
My curl looks something similar
curl -X GET -u 'xyz#gmail.com' -H "app-key: some-keys" -H "account-email: procurement#gmail.com" -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d 'paused=false' https://api.pingdom.com/api/2.1/checks
When prompted for the password, i can give the password and Iget the JSON response.
Now I try to build the same URL on my browser. The browser prompts for user name and password which I have already given.
Now my URL looks like this.
https://api.pingdom.com/api/2.1/users?account-email=procurement#gmail.com&app-key=some-key
I get a forbidden (as JSON reponse) when I try from the browser and from Curl I get the proper JSON response.
How can I add header params to a URL when pinging from the browser?
How can I add header params to a URL when pinging from the browser?
That's not possible. Besides it, from the browser address bar you won't be able to use HTTP methods other than GET.
So I advise you to you proper tools to target/test your Web API such as Postman or Paw.
I am configuring a solar device on the field that runs a small web server to upload data to a web service.
However the web service needs to have authentication and ssl. There is a way to configure an upload url endpoint but not a way to save the headers to a file etc.
Is it possible to login pass the headers to the next request and post data all in one request?
Something like
curl -d "email=sadf#yahoo.com&password=asds&submit=Login" --dump-header headers http://localhost:3000/users/login **>** curl -X POST http://localhost:3000/test --data-urlencode point="<status>A note</status>" -H 'Content-Type: application/xml'
I configured a REST webservice (a Spring Boot webapplication) on WSO2 AM and used the default /* mapping for resources. My webservice takes an assignee (text) and file parameters.
When I perform the calls, I've noticed that request parameters are not forwarded (HTTP Headers are) to the backed services. For example:
curl -i -X POST -H "Content-Type: multipart/form-data" -H "X-PD20-BillingSubscriptionId: e87d4400-b05f-4f40-9c39-06ae4d28cf4d" -H "Authorization: Bearer rrxRV5F6jdkSBcEPXv7I1yFl2x8a" -F "documentFile=#src/test/resources/sample-files/test-fea-1firma.pdf" -F "assignee=bla.bla#gmail.com" http://api.linksmt.it:8280/fea/1.0.0/signRequest
As you can see, It's a form that posts 2 fields, one of them being a file and another a simple text field.
The call is succesfully forwarded to the backed service but without the actual fields values (the headers instead are correctly passed, though their keys are lower-cased, that is "X-PD20-BillingSubscriptionId" is passed as "x-pd20-billingsubscriptionid").
Any hint on why is this happening?
Thanks
Ok, the problem was the same as described in multipart form data file upload using WSO2 API manger ? and I had to uncomment the declarations for
within the $WSO2_AM/repository/conf/axis2/axis2.xml file (and restart the server).
I've tried this every which way, but, I cannot seem to get the syntax right (though I can make it work through a website such as hurl.it). I'm trying a basic HTTP POST request with CURL and I need it to do the following:
1.) Be able to do a very basic non-oauth login (username and password) to http://www.fake.site/create
2.) Send over a few HTTP headers such as "Host, Connection, Content-Length, User-Agent, etc."
3.) Be able to pass over 1 parameter in this format {"guid":"","style":"The Style Here"}
4.) Be able to follow a redirect(s)
I would appreciate any assistance you may have--I have literally been to over 5 pages of Google results and I just hit a snag at ever turn with my CURL code.
Help and Thank you!
curl -X POST -L
-u "auth-User:auth-password"
-d "{\"guid\":\"\",\"style\":\"The Style Here\"}"
-H "Content-Type: application/json"
"http://www.fake.site/create"
You can add more headers through -H parameter if you want.
