Simple async HTTP requests with LÖVE

wapi's Issues

How do I POST with request body?

Thanks for this lib, very cool work. You taught me how to use love2d threads and channels, LOL.

One thing I couldn't figure out though is how to POST a payload. The problem is that I can't set an ltn12 source argument in the wapi.request call's config table since ltn12 sources are functions and so can't get passed through a love2d channel.

I ended up implementing this workaround inside your code.

  local body = {}
  args.sink = ltn12.sink.table(body)
+  if args.payload then
+   args.source = ltn12.source.string(args.payload)
+    args.payload = nil
+  end
  local r, c, h = http.request(args)

This way I can pass my request body to the request function in the payload property. Like so:

wapi.request({
  method = 'POST',
  url = 'https://postman-echo.com/post',
  payload = '{"hello":"bello"}',
}, myCallback)

Is there a way to get this done without this hack?

Thanks, and a big UP! for your good work. 👍
