How to use std.http properly

[mf-in-mun]

Hi,

I’m trying to get familiar with the Zig language.
For that I’ve choosen a project for some Oauth2 authentication.
This relies heavily on the http communication.

At least I try to put this

curl --request POST \
--url {your-domain}/oauth/v2/token \
--header 'Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded' \
--data grant_type=authorization_code \
--data code=${code} \
--data redirect_uri=${redirect_uri} \
--data client_id=${client_id} \
--data code_verifier=${code_verifier}

into some Zig code.

I’m struggling setting the data. Setting the header is no problem. But I got no idea how to set the data.

I suppose I’m kinda blindfold.
So maybe somebody can point me into the right direction.
And no; Google so far wasn’t my friend.

Any help is really appreciated.

Hello @mf-in-mun, welcome to ziggit!

Maybe this answer that was also about curl can help a bit:

Curl --form with Zig std

By adding --trace-ascii output-file.txt in your curl command line, the body of the message that curl sends to server is recorded in output-file.txt. You can also use --trace-ascii - to send the output to your terminal standard output. What you need to specify in the header are: the Content-Type as multipart/form-data; boundary=RANDOM-BOUNDARY where RANDOM-BOUNDARY is a line separator that must not exist in the form data and as any line of the posted files. the Content-Length as the total leng…

I think especially the option --trace-ascii output-file.txt is a good first step to replicate something similar using zig.
