ctx.Request.Post missing parameters ?
websharperserversiteletformcontext

I'm creating a form to generate a POST message:

1
2
3
4
5
6

Form
	[
		usernameInput-< [Name "username" ]
		Input [Value "Request"] -< [Type "submit" ]

	] -< [ Attr.Action (ctx.Link <MyActionName> ); Method "POST" ]

Everything works just fine when handling the request (i.e. I get redirected to MyActionName) using Sitelet.Infer, but then when handling the message and do a pattern matching:

1
2
3
4
5
6

Content.CustomContentAsync <| fun ctx ->
	let response =
		match ctx.Request.Post.["username"] with
		| None -> Content.NotFound
		| Some username -> Content.Redirect <| <MyActionName2> username
	Content.ToResponseAsync response ctx

Everything would be ok, but ctx.Request.Post doesn't contain any parameters, even though my browser shows the generated POST contains "username" value.

Am I doing anything wrong or is it just a bug ?

.

As I just tested, Request.Post is only filled when the request's Content-Type is a correct form content MIME type. What you need to do for this to happen is add an enctype attribute to your form:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8

Form [
    usernameInput-< [Name "username" ]
    Input [Value "Request"] -< [Type "submit" ]
] -< [
    Attr.Action (ctx.Link <MyActionName> )
    Method "POST"
    EncType "application/x-www-form-urlencoded" // or "multipart/form-data" if your form contains file inputs
]

Thanks - however only the latter works for me (multipart/form-data). When using the first one, there's no effect. To make it clear: I'm using the mose recent available NuGet package (3.0.46.130-rc1).
