POST requests method

[ProPablo]

Hi, I understand a issues thread was closed just a week ago, but on there the recommended method of proxying the get request would defeat the entire purpose of having an app that could do http requests instead of going to another solution of controlling a raspberry pi or some other IOT device from LAN. I particularly wanted to make a https webhook POST request with a json body. It would be great if this was implemented considering there are actually no alternatives on the app store. Thanks!

I understand your need and keep this issue open.

Hi,

I don't really want to defer from the great solution provided by Sebbu, however due to limitations in POSTs and other parameters, have you considered utilizing IOS shortcuts (previously workflow) to control the IOT devices? It does not provide the same customizable UI as the iControl-Web but can handle more complex requests including JSON, workflow, and SIRI integration.

[sebbu]

Don't worry. It is all about solutions. Shortcuts are great. Especially with Siri. The app can also interact with them (does not help in this case as the app is limited). Check Interaction with other Apps in the Readme.

Thank you Ruben for showing me that app, it does exactly what I could've wanted and probably more :D. I also appreciate you going out of your way sebbu and looking through it anyway. Either way I think if you added a post function it might come in handy for someone other than me and besides that your app really opens way to editing the backdoor of the app which I can really get behind. Thanks

Hey, is this possible yet? I just want to create a basic POST request with two variables in the Body. I can't use Shortcuts since Watch Support is crucial

Okay, I apparently didn't need a POST request. I just appended the parameters to the URL and was able to parameterize my requests (eg. request.com/whatever -> request.com/whatever?var=1&var2=Test).
