Question

Login auth using POST

I haven't been able to figure out how to POST data using the createHTTPClient() method. Right now I have:

var loginReq = Titanium.Network.createHTTPClient();
loginReq.onreadystatechange = function()
{
    if (this.readyState == 4)
    {
        alert(this.responseText);
    }
};

loginBtn.addEventListener('click',function(e)
{
    if (username.value != '' && password.value != '')
    {
        loginReq.open("POST","http://localhost:8888/post_auth.php?username=" + username.value + "&password=" + Ti.Utils.md5HexDigest(password.value));
        loginReq.send();
    }
    else
    {
        alert("Username/Password are required");
    }
});

The above works fine, however, my PHP then has to use the GET method to get the variables. I want to know how I can use the POST method in my PHP and just call http://localhost:8888/post_auth.php rather than adding all my params at the end.

Try this

loginBtn.addEventListener('click',function(e)
{
    loginReq.setRequestHeader("content-type", "multipart/form-data");

    if (username.value != '' && password.value != '')
    {
        loginReq.open("POST","http://localhost:8888/post_auth.php");
        var parms = {
          username: username.value,
          password: Ti.Utils.md5HexDigest(password.value)
        };
        loginReq.send(parms);
    }
    else
    {
        alert("Username/Password are required");
    }
});
