Hello! I'm trying to send a POST request in a Lua script after a session has ended in Freeswitch. I am fairly new to using the mod_curl application and have included my research sources below.
I've worked out most of the implementation but I'm stuck being unable to send a POST request successfully via the mod_curl app. I've confirmed my API info, url, and data is correct and I'm able to successfully run this command in the terminal of my test server. -
There's no problem when running this or any other external POST request tests. The issue is when using the mod_curl application in Lua I can't seem to get the request to clear.
I've confirmed that doing a GET request works no problem and the POST request is being received, but the body data is being rejected.
I'm using fs_cli to see any responses or errors but do not have access to the API server I'm calling, so I'm not sure what they are seeing when I request via mod_curl.
The response I keep getting is a rejection for "{"error":"Invalid from number."}". To fix this I've tried changing the from value to match the urlencoded format as well as many other approaches -
I've looked through all the documents I could find online but nothing explains exactly how this should be formatted besides (value1=value2&value3=value4).
I'm certain this response is from the API server I'm calling as I've dealt with it in the past. The issue is just a data formatting issue as the data I'm trying to pass is exactly how it should be in the working curl terminal command above. How do I properly format this data to be used in the mod_curl application api:execute("curl", postStr)?
