Trouble using HTTP POST

[JeanLuc <jangernert gmail com>]

Hi there,

I am trying to log on to my tt-rss server using libsoup. Since version 1.5.3 it only supports HTTP POST to receive data.

Basically I only need to do something like this with libsoup:

curl -d '{"op":"login","user":"you","password":"xxx"}' http://example.dom/tt-rss/api/

But all the code examples written in vala using POST are outdated and don't compile anymore.

For example the last one on this page, Transmission RPC Interface:

https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/Vala/JsonSample

Here is my code:

var uri = "http://nas/tt-rss/api/";

var session = new Soup.Session ();

var message = new Soup.Message ("POST", uri);

var login = "{\"op\":\"login\",\"user\":\"USER\",\"password\":\"PASSWORD\"}";

message.set_request("", MemoryUse.COPY, login);

session.send_message (message); 

stdout.printf("%s \n", (string) message.response_body.flatten ().data);

I always get the error: "Argument 3: Cannot convert from `string' to `uint8[]'"

Thanks for any help in advance

best regards,

Jan
