I'm not sure what the problem is, then.. I thought you said the request
'hangs on'? So that's not the case..? Your server IS responding to the
request?
You don't need to 'terminate' the post-iterator callback function yourself
from inside the callback. It will stop being called when there is no more
data to parse.
I do basically the same thing you're trying to do - put the post parameters
into a map. The callback doesn't get to decide when the post data has been
completely processed - that's decided by your server (probably in your
connection callback). Maybe you're missing the step where you set the
'data size' pointer to 0 to tell MHD you've absorbed all the data from that
chunk of the POST request?
The second-to-last parameter in the connection callback is a size_t* that
represents the 'upload data size'. You need to set the value to 0 if you
absorbed all the data - very probably after you call 'MHD_post_process'.
Something like this:
if(*uploadDataSize != 0) {
// process the post data using MHD's default post-processor - this will
call your post-processor-callback function
result = MHD_post_process(pointerToYourPostProcessorForThisConnection,
uploadData, *uploadDataSize);
// tell MHD you're done with all that data
*uploadDataSize = 0;
}
POST data comes in chunks to MHD - so your 'connection callback' will be
called repeatedly until the data is complete (or probably if you return
MHD_NO, but I'm not sure). So - If you put something like the above
snippet in your connection callback, will ultimately be called repeatedly
until MHD tells you that 'uploadDataSize' is 0 - that there is no more data
to process.
After that point, MHD will stop sending you the POST data and your server
can do whatever it wants with all the data you've collected.
In the snippet you sent, I don't see anything in there that actually CALLS
the post processor (I see the create, but not the call to process the
data). I'm guessing that's what you're missing.
As a side note: MHD is really really great, but using it to process POST
data is not trivial. It took me a while to get right. You should at least
start with the example in the tutorial and go from there.
Hope that helps.
