ServiceStack: POST body content as NameValueCollection

1
votes

In a ServiceStack service or filter, is there any way to get access to the NameValueCollection parsed from a URLEncoded POST content?

While I understand that it is parsed into the DTO as appropriate, sometimes it is valuable to have access to the arbitrary values in the name value collection.

I don't mind having ServiceStack parse and fill the DTO—I just also want to see the raw NameValueCollection (or equivalent data structure if ServiceStack uses its own parsing mechanism).

Inside a Service you can access the POST'ed data with:

var htmlPostVar = base.Request.FormData["postName"];

See the Access HTTP specific features in services for more info on how to access HTTP Request and Response info from inside services.

The Service base class gives you access to the Request and you can find the POST content in FormData which is a NameValueCollection.

Request.FormData
