SendToHTTP (GET and POST) with Headers

[iz8mbw]

Hello.
I'm doing some experience with "SendToHTTP ", for me it's very useful.
I need to send some HTTP GET and HTTP POST with Headers, is it possible?

Here some "curl" examples that I would like to "convert" for ESPEasy:

GET:
curl -X GET -H "Authorization: Bearer VERY_LOG_TOKEN" -H "Content-Type: application/json" http://192.168.1.25:8123/api/states/sen ... r_humidity

POST:
curl -X POST -H "Authorization: Bearer VERY_LOG_TOKEN" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"state": "off"}' http://192.168.1.25:8123/api/states/switch.tapo1


Many thanks!

Check out the PostToHTTP and PutToHTTP (and SendToHTTP) commands in the docs

Thanks, trying to "convert" the curl format with the ESPEasy format but it's hard...
Why don't use the same "curl" syntax like: -H "header 1 value" -H "header 2 value" so simply separate Headers by space.

In ESPEasy the

Code: Select all

%LF%

is the Header separator like the space for curl?

Headers have to be on a separate line, AFAICS, so there has to be some separator to be able to split multiple value pairs, and we chose %LF% to do that, as most other characters can be part of the header value. %LF% is the equivalent of '\n' in C++

Hello.
May be can be of interest for other users. I post the original CURL command and the equivalent command (PostToHTTP) for ESPEasy rule:

HTTP POST with curl:

Code: Select all

curl -X POST -H "Authorization: Bearer VERY_LONG_HOME_ASSISTANT_TOKEN_TO_VALORIZE" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"state": "off"}' http://192.168.1.25:8123/api/states/light.shellyplus1pm_123456abc123_switch_0

HTTP POST with ESPEasy:

Code: Select all

PostToHTTP,192.168.1.25,8123,/api/states/light.shellyplus1pm_123456abc123_switch_0,'Authorization: Bearer VERY_LONG_HOME_ASSISTANT_TOKEN_TO_VALORIZE%LF%Content-Type: application/json',`{"state": "off"}`

[Ath]

To make the conversion even easier, you can use the documented 'format 2' use of PostToHTTP, where a regular http:// url can be used.

Alternative HTTP POST with ESPEasy:

Code: Select all

PostToHTTP,http://192.168.1.25:8123/api/states/light.shellyplus1pm_123456abc123_switch_0,'Authorization: Bearer VERY_LONG_HOME_ASSISTANT_TOKEN_TO_VALORIZE%LF%Content-Type: application/json',`{"state": "off"}`

NB: I've added this as an example to the Rules documentation via PR #4788
