Reading HTTP Request parameters

Server Mongrel
1

Hello
I’ve a client which send this request to a mongrel HTTPHandler :

res=Net::HTTP.post_form(URI.parse(‘http://localhost:3000/test’),{“a”=>1,“b”=>2})

But in the handler I can’t read the parameters one by one, I can read
the entire String only :
class Serveur
class MyHandler < Mongrel::HttpHandler
def process(req, resp)
…
@params=req.params
@params.http_body
…
end
end
…
end

@params.http_body give me :
a=1&b=2 which is a string

I would like a code which return me 1 for something[:a] and 2 for
something[:b]…
thanks

that’s just what I’m searching (I tried it with a wrong syntax :
req.query_parse and it didn’t work…)

thanks

Yes, sadly you have to do this yourself because all the frameworks have
their own interpretation of how the query parameters are parsed.
