I'm submitting a HTML form to REST(eXist db) web service using POST method.A normal submission is giving 400 bad request
Here is my HTML code
<html><script type="text/javascript"> /* function createXMLHttpRequest() { if( typeof XMLHttpRequest == "undefined" ) XMLHttpRequest = function() { try { return new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP.6.0") } catch(e) {} try { return new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP.3.0") } catch(e) {} try { return new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP") } catch(e) {} try { return new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP") } catch(e) {} throw new Error( "This browser does not support XMLHttpRequest." ) }; return new XMLHttpRequest(); }var AJAX = createXMLHttpRequest();*/function submitForm() { //AJAX.open("POST",'http://localhost:8899/exist/rest/db/xql/sample.xq'); // AJAX.send(document.form.xmlData.value); document.form.submit(); };</script><head> <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /></head><body><form name='form' action="http://localhost:8899/exist/rest/db/xql/sample.xq" enctype="text/plain" method="post"><input type="text" name="xmlData"/><input type="button" value="Submit" onclick="submitForm()";></form></body></html>The commented code is to send POST request using AJAX.I captured the http header request and response for form submit and AJAX submitThese are the request headers:
