HTTP request

dynamic_loader("nauthilus_http_request")
local nauthilus_http_request = require("nauthilus_http_request")

nauthilus_http.get_all_http_request_headers​

It is possible to get the full set of HTTP request headers from a connecting service in Lua with the following function:

dynamic_loader("nauthilus_http_request")
local nauthilus_http_request = require("nauthilus_http_request")

local header_table = nauthilus_http_request.get_all_http_request_headers()

for header_key, header_value_table in pair(header_table) do
  print("header key: " .. header_key)
  for index, header_value in ipars(header_value_table) do
    print("header_value[" .. tostring(index) .. "]: " .. header_value)
  end
end

As the example demonstrates, the result is a Lua table. The names for each header are stored in the key of this table, while the values are also stored in a Lua table as list of strings.

nauthilus_http_request.get_http_request_header​

Get a table of values for an HTTP request header.

dynamic_loader("nauthilus_http_request")
local nauthilus_http_request = require("nauthilus_http_request")

local header_table = nauthilus_http_request.get_http_request_headers("Content-Type")

nauthilus_http_request.get_http_request_body​

Get the payload of an HTTP request as a string.

dynamic_loader("nauthilus_http_request")
local nauthilus_http_request = require("nauthilus_http_request")

local body = nauthilus_http_request.get_http_request_body()
