  Accessing Data in Httphandler sent using post request

  Sep 29, 2011 11:22 AM|shashwat.tripathi|LINK

  Hello friends

  I have created a httphandler. Everything is working fine If you take the request type GET. But I really don't want GET request due to security reasons.

  I am making a POST request using Jquery using following code

  $.ajax({
              type: "POST",
              async: false,
              url: "SaveAccounts",
              data: { a: "Sent Data" },
              contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
              dataType: "json",
              success: function OnSuccess(a) {
                  alert(a);
              },
              error: function OnError(request, status, error) {
                  alert('Error: ' + request + ' ' + status + ' ' + error);
              },
              complete: function () {
  
              }
          });

  And the code for processing request is:

          context.Response.ContentType = "application/json; charset=utf-8"
          Dim s As String = context.Request.Params("a")
          context.Response.Write(JsonConvert.SerializeObject(s))

  This code is returning 'null' in javascript alert in client side.

  Please note every thing is working fine when request type is changed to GET in $.ajax() function.

  I have also tried to access posted data using context.Request.Form("a") and context.request.SserverVariables("a")

  context.request.Params is a combined collection of 'Form', 'ServerVariables', 'Cookies' etc.

  Please tell me where I am going wrong...??

  Thanks for looking....

  It is working if I do remove contentType and dataType specification from request. And everything other than this will remain same.

  It is very bad that no one could answer this my stupid question.
