Problems with HTTP POST X-www-form-urlencoded key with dots or _

[Grove]

Hi All,

When I do a HTTP POST request with the following item:

postData.addQueryItem("com.collibra.dgc.core.dto.io.connector.JSONDataTableOutputConnectorFactory_sEcho", "0");

I get a response that the parameter isn't set.
Is it possible that the cause of this issue is because there are dots or underscores in the key?
And how to solve this?

I can do a POST request in Postman with this key and value.

Wkr,
Grove

Hi and welcome to devnet,

Can you show the complete request build ?
Did you check what was sent ?

Hi Sgaist and thanks,

request.setUrl(QUrl("https://url"));
QUrlQuery postData;
postData.addQueryItem("outputConnector", "com.collibra.dgc.core.dto.io.connector.JSONDataTableOutputConnectorFactory");
postData.addQueryItem("com.collibra.dgc.core.dto.io.connector.JSONDataTableOutputConnectorFactory_sEcho", "0");
request.setRawHeader("Authorization", headerData.toLocal8Bit());
request.setRawHeader("Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
manager->post(request, postData.toString().toUtf8());

How can I check was is send?

Wireshark is your friend (network traffic capture/analyzer)

Is there a way to let tell Qt what is send?

Just for debugging purposes, change the URL to some local non-SSL test server and capture the traffic then.
