HTTP POST request missing body

HTTP POST request missing body

BY 22 Feb 2016 Web Application Development

I’m trying to send data from my Gear S to my laptop via wifi. I run a simple java socket server on my laptop

that prints what it receives and sends a HTML message back. Everything works just fine when I test my server

with an extension of Google Chrome called “Advanced Rest Client”. But when I try to send something from my

Gear S, it appears the actually message itself isn’t included. The weird thing is that the content-length field is

correct. The code of my web application is: 
 

function buttonsendclicked() {
    console.log("Button Clicked");
    var client = new XMLHttpRequest();
    client.open("post", "http://192.168.0.226:8080");
    client.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "application/text/plain");
    client.onreadystatechange = function() {
        if (client.readyState == 4 && client.status == 200) {
            alert(client.status);
        }
    }
    client.send("Send data");
    console.log("test");
    
}

I get the following output when I receive this message on my server:

 

POST / HTTP/1.1
Host: 192.168.0.226:8080
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; Tizen 2.2.1.4; SAMSUNG SM-R750) AppleWebKit/538.1 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/2.2.1.4 Mobile Safari/538.1

And normally the text appears under “Content-Length: 9”. What am I forgetting/doing wrong?
