POST Requests as URLs

This information is applicable only to Basic Engine Robots when using the Classic engine browser.

A standard URL can represent only a GET request, but not an HTTP POST request. To represent a POST request as a URL, Kofax RPA uses its own special URL format with the following syntax:

post://<url excluding the http protocol>??<encoded POST parameters>

or, for the HTTPS protocol:

posts://<url excluding the https protocol>??<encoded POST parameters>

or, for a relative URL without a protocol:

postx://<url without protocol>??<encoded POST parameters>

Example

A POST request to the URL

http://www.abc.com

with the encoded POST parameters

x=y&v=z

is represented as the following URL:

post://www.abc.com??x=y&v=z
