00:00:01,560 --> 00:00:07,200

So now that I've forced you to learn how request bodies work when you're posting something, and I did



2

00:00:07,200 --> 00:00:16,530

that by forcing you to to define a request body as a long string where you have key value separated



3

00:00:16,530 --> 00:00:22,780

by ampersands and so forth, I'll show you an easier way to do it, one that is a little cleaner.



4

00:00:22,830 --> 00:00:24,480

It requires less effort.



5

00:00:24,750 --> 00:00:28,980

But I thought it was important for you to know how to build a post body.



6

00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:34,020

It's important to know how post work and this doing it this way forced you to learn that.



7

00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:36,240

So there is actually an easier way to do it.



8

00:00:36,330 --> 00:00:41,680

And it's done by creating a you are a values type and I'll show you how it works here.



9

00:00:42,390 --> 00:00:49,290

So what I do is create a new variable, which I will call posted data, and that is assign the value



10

00:00:49,290 --> 00:00:52,310

of nothing more than an empty URL values.



11

00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:55,650

So now that I've created that, I can add things to it.



12

00:00:55,980 --> 00:01:00,780

So what I have here is start date and date, first name, last name and so forth.



13

00:01:00,780 --> 00:01:02,420

And all I do is just add values to it.



14

00:01:02,700 --> 00:01:08,130

So I say posted data add and my key for the first one would be start date.



15

00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:16,950

And the value is exactly what we have above 20 50 zero one zero one.



16

00:01:17,740 --> 00:01:27,500

And I do the same thing for end date and I change the date to 2050 01 02 and I do the same thing for



17

00:01:27,630 --> 00:01:30,450

first name, which I make John.



18

00:01:33,110 --> 00:01:34,070

And a last name.



19

00:01:38,310 --> 00:01:54,310

Smith email John at Smith Dotcom Phone, which I make some phone number five five five five five five



20

00:01:54,490 --> 00:02:04,140

five five five and Ramadi, which in this case is one, which means I don't need this request body anymore.



21

00:02:04,140 --> 00:02:05,570

So I can actually comment that a.



22

00:02:07,730 --> 00:02:13,060

And instead of putting a string's new reader request body, which doesn't exist anymore, I just use



23

00:02:13,070 --> 00:02:18,530

posted data and then I call a function built into that called in code.



24

00:02:20,180 --> 00:02:21,830

And now that will work.



25

00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:28,670

And as you can see, this is a much cleaner method of adding things to the posted data or to the data



26

00:02:28,670 --> 00:02:29,420

that you're posting.



27

00:02:29,780 --> 00:02:36,830

And you can actually go and revised all of this test to replace all of these requests bodies with a



28

00:02:36,830 --> 00:02:39,530

new posted data of type you orld values.



29

00:02:39,980 --> 00:02:44,710

And what I'll do is I'll update the test to use this methodology and post the updated source code there.



30

00:02:45,260 --> 00:02:49,250

I warned you very early in the course that I would make you do things the hard way and then show you



31

00:02:49,250 --> 00:02:50,360

an easier way to do it.



32

00:02:50,570 --> 00:02:57,340

But this method actually shows you how posted data is handled by Web Web browsers and Web servers.



33

00:02:57,710 --> 00:03:03,680

So I'll update this and post the updated source code to the course resources for this lecture.
