def set_post_data(value: bytes) -> None: ...

post_data = property(get_post_data, set_post_data)

Default Value

""

Remarks

This property contains the data to post with the URL if the POST method is used. If this property contains a non-empty string, then if the HTTP 'POST' method is used (post method), the contents of this property are appended to the HTTP request after the HTTP headers.

An HTTP 'Content-Length' header is also added to the request. Its value is the length of the string in post_data.

The most common example is posting of HTML form input data. In that case, the content_type property must be set to "application/x-www-form-urlencoded".

Example (Performing a Post)

HTTPControl.ContentType = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"
HTTPControl.PostData = "firstname=Tom&lastname=Thompson&country=US"
HTTPControl.Post(myurl)
