UPDATE: Please see Alexey's comments below for the solution
I am trying what I thought would be a trivial function to take some valid Json data and post it to a remote url
I've tried every example I could find close to this on StackOverflow, and the receiving side always has an empty payload.
I'm ruling out the receiving side, due to being able to do this:
curl -XPOST 'http://supersecreturl/mypost' -d '[{"i sware to ritchie":"this json is 100 percent valid"},{"i can even":"copy and paste it into a curl POST request and receive it flawlessly on the remote side"}]'
Please help, I'm loosing my mind here..
/// Here is approximately my code - had to remove the valid url and the JSON content
func PutArticlesJSON(c appengine.Context, articles []*Articlez) (*http.Response){
url := "http://mysecreturl/mypost"
client := urlfetch.Client(c)
jsonarts, _ := json.Marshal(articles)
c.Debugf(" --- What do we have - %v", string(jsonarts)) /// the appengine log shows exactly valid json at this point, such as:
/*
[{"i sware to ritchie":"this json is 100 percent valid"},{"i can even":"copy and paste it into a curl POST request and receive it flawless on the remote side"}]
*/
// tried this way too....
//req, err := http.NewRequest("POST", url, strings.NewReader(string(jsonarts)))
//
req, err := http.NewRequest("POST", url, bytes.NewBuffer(string(jsonStr))) /// on the receiving side, the payload is completely empty no matter what I try
req.Header.Set("Content-Type", "application/json")
resp, err := client.Do(req)
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
defer resp.Body.Close()
body, _ := ioutil.ReadAll(resp.Body)
return resp
}
