How to get request body from a http_request? I tried http_request.body(), it's not work, http_request.body() returns an empty string.
#include "pch.h"
#include <iostream>
#include <boost/beast.hpp>
int main()
{
std::string s =
"POST /cgi/message.php HTTP/1.1\r\n"
"Content-Length: 5\r\n"
"\r\n"
"abcde";
boost::system::error_code ec;
boost::beast::http::request_parser<boost::beast::http::string_body> p;
p.put(boost::asio::buffer(s), ec);
boost::beast::http::request<boost::beast::http::string_body> r = p.get();
auto b = r.body(); // !!! b is an empty string! can't get request body!
std::cout << "Hello World!\n";
}
EDIT: Now, I know why can't I get request body, as default, the first time call http_parser.put(), http_parser only parse http line and http fields, next time call http_parser.put(), http_parser will parse http message body. if we have a full http message already contains http body, before put full http request to http_parser, we must call http_request.eager(true) to control http_parser parse the http body now.
