A modern programming language that makes developers happier.

kotlinlang

something strange seems to be happening with my app: ```post("/webhook", {
            print("yes")
            val post = call.receiveParameters()
            print("yes")```

It could be if sender of `POST` request is not sending any data and not sending an indication of empty request (Content-Length: 0 or zero-chunk), and not closing connection. In this case the handler is suspended and waiting for data. 

How do you send the data to `webhook`?

using curl ```curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST "localhost:1337/webhook" -d '{"object": "page", "entry": [{"messaging": [{"message": "TEST_MESSAGE"}]}]}'```

basically I am just following the Facebook dev guide for making a chat bot

I will need to check it locally. Will be able to do it later today.

Okay thanks a lot. :slightly_smiling_face:

Wait, you’re likely having an exception in log. `receiveParameters` will not work with JSON, it is for form posts (multipart or urlencoded). If you need to receive a data object, you need to setup `ContentNegotiation` and recieve a data object.

No exceptions showing up in run tab on intellij...but this is probably the reason.

I mean, did you read the gradle guide to the end? :smile:

Ah no I didn't :stuck_out_tongue:. I did read it but figured I could do without logging to begin with

also any link to the documentation on receiving data object?

Nice! Thanks for asking, that helps a lot to locate things that are missing :slightly_smiling_face: I’m still with the Requests/Responses stuff, but will enqueue this too :+1:

Happy to help any way I can. :slightly_smiling_face: I've been a huge Jetbrains fan for years.

Added a Requests page (hope it is helpful):

<http://ktor.io/servers/requests.html>

And a section about the ContentNegotiation:
<http://ktor.io/servers/requests.html#receiving-content-negotitation>

Let me know if something is not clear or if you have troubles with other things so I can improve it.
