Add .sendBody() #22
Description
With mult-line POST requests, there is currently no way to send a body except using a sendHeader() call. A sendBody() would be useful in this regard.
The following code works, but is confusing to the end user:
HttpClient http(netSocket, wemo.c_str(), port); // make an HTTP client
http.connectionKeepAlive(); // keep the connection alive
http.beginRequest(); // start assembling the request
http.post(route); // set the route
// add the headers:
http.sendHeader("Content-type", "text/xml; charset=utf-8");
String soapAction = "\"urn:Belkin:service:basicevent:1#SetBinaryState\"";
http.sendHeader("SOAPACTION", soapAction);
http.sendHeader("Connection: keep-alive");
http.sendHeader("Content-Length", soap.length());
http.sendHeader(""); // a blank line before the body
http.sendHeader(soap); // add the body
http.endRequest(); // end the request
Serial.println("request opened");
Two suggested solutions:
Either sendBody() simply calls sendHeader(), or sendBody() callas a blank sendHeader() to separate from the headers, then calls sendHeader() with the body.
