Hi,

Does anyone know when HTTP POST will be supported on the FreeRTOS_HTTP WebServer (I’m using the PIC32 implementation). My application which uses lots of XML and JSON using GET working perfectly, however now I have a need to use POST for transferring a file to the web server for storage on the filesystem.

The POST is not implemented in FreeRTOS_HTTP_server.c:


static BaseType_t prvProcessCmd( HTTPClient_t *pxClient, BaseType_t xIndex )
{
    BaseType_t xResult = 0;

	/* A new command has been received. Process it. */
	switch( xIndex )
	{
	case ECMD_GET:
		xResult = prvOpenURL( pxClient );
		break;

	case ECMD_HEAD:
	case ECMD_POST:
	case ECMD_PUT:
	case ECMD_DELETE:
	case ECMD_TRACE:
	case ECMD_OPTIONS:
	case ECMD_CONNECT:
	case ECMD_PATCH:
	case ECMD_UNK:
		{
			FreeRTOS_printf( ( "prvProcessCmd: Not implemented: %s
",
				xWebCommands[xIndex].pcCommandName ) );
		}
		break;
	}

	return xResult;
}

I did investigate and whilst a POST is received, the pxClient buffer is empty.

Any ideas?

Many thanks.

Hello
Amazon FreeRTOS repo does not have HTTP server code; and at this time we don’t have any plans to support it. You may want to check SourceForge forums, where HTTP server code is available.
Thanks,
