Empty post body in HTTP server

[leolux]

If a HTTP client posts some String to a vert.x HTTP server the body received by the server seems to be empty although the server registered an BodyHandler.

I have created an reproducer for that issue.

This is trivial, isn't it?
I wasn't able to find a solution though 🐤

Try:

router.route().handler(BodyHandler.create());
router.route().method(HttpMethod.POST).path("/some/resource").handler(....)

You're overwriting the body handler with the second handler. Routes can only have one handler.

A very similar issue was discussed on the google group not very long ago.

Also....

In your main, you're deploying the Server immediately followed by the client without waiting, so there is no guarantee the server is started before the client sends the request.

When you do this:

router.route().handler(BodyHandler.create()).method(HttpMethod.POST).path("/some/resource")
.handler(otherHandler);

You're creating a single route, then first setting the handler to be a body handler, setting the method and path then setting the handler to be otherHandler (overwriting the bodyHandler).

Yeah, that's it. I must have been blind :-)
Thank you!
