Hi @rajesh-krishnan ,

Thank you for opening this issue.

Depending on which version of facil.io you might be using, you might be interested to read the HTTP data parsing documentation at facil.io.

Besides functions such as http_parse_query and http_parse_body you might consider using an external multipart form parser if it better fit your app.

For example, this HTTP response callback will print out the parsed data in JSON format to the terminal:

static void on_http_request(http_s *h) {
  http_parse_query(h);
  http_parse_body(h);
  FIOBJ json = fiobj_obj2json(h->params, 1);
  fprintf(stderr, "%s\n", fiobj_obj2cstr(json).data);
  /* set a response and send it (finnish vs. destroy). */
  http_send_body(h, "Hello World!", 12);
}

Pease note that uploaded files will create a "sub-group" / FIOBJ Hash with the following keys:

• data - a FIOBJ String with the content of the file.
• type - a FIOBJ String with the mime type of the file as provided by the client.
• filename - a FIOBJ String with the original filename as provided by the client.

Good Luck!
Bo.

Thank you. That worked splendidly; I have no need for an external parser.
