Hi, I have a Golang HTTP server which is consumed by mobile Apps via HTTP.
For one workflow (reset-password) alone, I needed a web interface. So
instead of creating a new different webapp, I decided to make an endpoint
emit text/html instead of JSON and then serve a static HTML page, which
will then do a POST request.
The same endpoint will serve HTML on HTTP GET and will process the values
in HTTP POST.
However, I am not able to get the POST parameters in my HTTP request. Even
after a succesful req.ParseForm, my req.Form returns nil.
I have attached the complete example.go file in the file, which you can run
offline. The relevant code section is:
func alterPasswordHandler(res http.ResponseWriter, req *http.Request) {
if req.Method == http.MethodGet {
body := `
<html>
<body>
<form method="post">
<label for="password">Password</label>
<input id="password" type="password" placeholder="Password" required>
<label for="repeatPassword">Repeat Password</label>
<input id="repeatPassword" type="password" placeholder="Repeat Password"
required>
<button type="submit">Change Password</button>
</form>
</body>
</html>
`
res.WriteHeader(http.StatusOK)
res.Header().Set("Content-Type", "text/html")
res.Write([]byte(body))
} else if req.Method == http.MethodPost {
err := req.ParseForm()
log.Println(err, req.Form) // <<<<<<<<<<< req.Form is nil
}
}
What am I doing wrong ? I do get the POST request but without the password
fields as part of the POST body. Any help ?
Thanks.
