Re: [libmicrohttpd] MHD_create_post_processor failed for a GET request with body

[Christian Grothoff]

Dear Helin,

Sending data with a GET request is, eh, unusual.  Have you considered 
using PUT?  In any case, I suspect it should kind-of work nevertheless 
(but of course I didn't try this). The PostProcessor not working is most 
likely because it didn't understand your data encoding.  You can either 
manipulate the connection headers on the server side to tell it, or --- 
especially as your GET-with-data is likely non-standard in many ways --- 
just parse 'upload_data' yourself!  You don't need a PostProcessor to 
access upload data (just make sure you set *upload_data_size to 0 if 
you're done, and expect it to arrive possibly incrementally).

If you need further help, it would likely be useful if you could post 
exactly what you're sending to the HTTP server and also what your HTTP 
GET handler code looks like.

Happy hacking!

Christian
