HTTP请求中的form data和request payload的区别

HTTP请求中的form data和request payload的区别

AJAX Post请求中常用的两种传参数的形式：form data 和 request payload

Form data

get请求的时候，我们的参数直接反映在url里面，形式为key1=value1&key2=value2形式，比如：

1	http://news.baidu.com/ns?word=NBA&tn=news&from=news&cl=2&rn=20&ct=1

如果是post请求，那么表单参数是在请求体中，也是以key1=value1&key2=value2的形式在请求体中。通过chrome的开发者工具可以看到如下：

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27

RequestURL:http://127.0.0.1:8080/test/test.do Request Method:POST Status Code:200 OK Request Headers Accept:text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,image/webp,*/*;q=0.8 Accept-Encoding:gzip,deflate,sdch Accept-Language:zh-CN,zh;q=0.8,en;q=0.6 AlexaToolbar-ALX_NS_PH:AlexaToolbar/alxg-3.2 Cache-Control:max-age=0 Connection:keep-alive Content-Length:25 Content-Type:application/x-www-form-urlencoded Cookie:JSESSIONID=74AC93F9F572980B6FC10474CD8EDD8D Host:127.0.0.1:8080 Origin:http://127.0.0.1:8080 Referer:http://127.0.0.1:8080/test/index.jsp User-Agent:Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1)AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/33.0.1750.149 Safari/537.36 Form Data name:mikan address:street Response Headers Content-Length:2 Date:Sun, 11 May 2014 11:05:33 GMT Server:Apache-Coyote/1.1

这里要注意post请求的Content-Type为application/x-www-form-urlencoded（默认的），参数是在请求体中，即上面请求中的Form Data。

前端：

1 2	xhr.setRequestHeader("Content-type","application/x-www-form-urlencoded"); xhr.send("name=foo&value=bar");

在servlet中，可以通过request.getParameter(name)的形式来获取表单参数。

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

/** * 获取httpRequest的参数 * * @param request * @param name * @return */ protected String getParameterValue(HttpServletRequest request, String name) { return StringUtils.trimToEmpty(request.getParameter(name)); }

Request payload

如果使用原生AJAX POST请求的话，那么请求在chrome的开发者工具的表现如下，主要是参数在

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30

Remote Address:192.168.234.240:80 Request URL:http://tuanbeta3.XXX.com/qimage/upload.htm Request Method:POST Status Code:200 OK Request Headers Accept:application/json, text/javascript, */*; q=0.01 Accept-Encoding:gzip,deflate,sdch Accept-Language:zh-CN,zh;q=0.8,en;q=0.6 Connection:keep-alive Content-Length:151 Content-Type:application/json;charset=UTF-8 Cookie:JSESSIONID=E08388788943A651924CA0A10C7ACAD0 Host:tuanbeta3.XXX.com Origin:http://tuanbeta3.XXX.com Referer:http://tuanbeta3.XXX.com/qimage/customerlist.htm?menu=19 User-Agent:Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/35.0.1916.114 Safari/537.36 X-Requested-With:XMLHttpRequest Request Payload [{widthEncode:NNNcaXN, heightEncode:NNNN5NN, displayUrl:201409/03/66I5P266rtT86oKq6,…}] Response Headers Connection:keep-alive Content-Encoding:gzip Content-Type:application/json;charset=UTF-8 Date:Thu, 04 Sep 2014 06:49:44 GMT Server:nginx/1.4.7 Transfer-Encoding:chunked Vary:Accept-Encoding

注意请求的Content-Type为application/json;charset=UTF-8，而请求表单参数在Request Payload中。

后端获取（这里使用org.apache.commons.io.）：

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

/** * 从 request 获取 payload 数据 * * @param request * @return * @throws IOException */ private String getRequestPayload(HttpServletRequest request) throws IOException { return IOUtils.toString(request.getReader()); }

二者区别

参考：http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10494574/what-is-the-difference-between-form-data-and-request-payload

if a request (typically POST) has Content-type header set to application/x-www-form-urlencoded the body is expected to be in the form of a standard querystring with url-encoded key=value pairs joined by &. Form data section then shows the key-value parameters (when viewed parsed). This way was much more common in past because it is a default for HTML forms.

other cases are shown in Request payload section (and nowadays parsed for readability as well for common formats like JSON).

如果请求的Content-Type设置为application/x-www-form-urlencoded，那么这个Post请求被认为是HTTP POST表单请求，参数出现在

其他情况如使用原生AJAX的POST请求如果不指定请求头Request Header，默认使用的Content-Type是text/plain;charset=UTF-8，参数出现在Request payload块。
