[dancer-users] The case of the missing body-parameter...

[vijayvithal jahagirdar]

I am debugging a dancer2 ajax application which receives a POST request as
follows

wget --post-data '{"item":{"filename":"/prj/dyumnin/
designw.in/web/WS/log/Build_1/13RTL Compile Check.log"}}'
--header=Content-Type:application/json
http://localhost:5000/api/prjEdit/getFile.json

*My route definition is *

package api;
use Data::Dumper;
use Dancer2 appname=>'web';
use Dancer2::Plugin::Database;
use spreadsheet;
use Data::GUID::Any 'guid_as_string';
use Dancer2::Plugin::REST;
use File::ReadBackwards;
prepare_serializer_for_format;

prefix '/api/prjEdit';

post '/getFileTail.:format'=>sub{
        my $data=body_parameters->get_all('item');
        debug Dumper $data;
        debug Dumper body_parameters;
         my %all_parameters = params;
        debug Dumper \%all_parameters;


*What I see in the log is*

Similar requests for other routes work.I am unable to understand why the
body parameter is getting lost for this route. and Have not Idea where to
begin my search.
To make matters worst when coupled with the Angular2 front end. for the
same request sometimes the body parameters are passed to this route and
sometimes they are not.

Any Hints on how to debug this scenario is welcome.

Vijay
