I route all traffic through a single templateusing modrewrite, I then add some apache server variables.So if you do something like this:..*htaccess*RewriteEngine OnRewriteRule ^jsonpost/(.+)$ /json-post.tmpl?dummyName=3D [L]*json-post.tmpl*FormVariables:[formvariables][name][/formvariables]Then set your webhook / receiving URL tohttps://your-domain/jsonpost/anythingYou'll see the data. Looks like you have to add at least one name:valuepair.

Stuart =/ Michael,

Hi - it works on my CMS, but wouldn't wor=k on a standard WebDNA template.

So had a deeper l=ook at it.=C2=A0 I route all traffic through a single template using modrew=rite, I then add some apache server variables.

So =if you do something like this:

.htaccess

Rewri=teEngine On

RewriteRule ^jsonpos=t/(.+)$ /json-post.tmpl?dummyName=3D [L]

<=div>

FormVariables:

[formvariables][name]<=/div>

[/formvariables]

Then set your webhook / receiving URL to

<=div>https://your-domain/j=sonpost/anything

<=div dir=3D"ltr">

You'll see the dat=a.=C2=A0 Looks like you have to add at least one name:value pair.=C2=A0 Not= sure if this is an apache thing or a WebDNA thing, I suspect the latter.

Hi Michael

Are you able to specify the url to w=hich the JSON needs to be posted ?

I just tried pu=tting a ? at the end of the url eg: /test.html?

[S=HELL]curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{&q=uot;userName":"dim@witted.net","password":"mybirthday"}'=; -k https://plsoftware.com.au/test.html?[/SHELL]

Then putting this on your receiving page you will get the JSON string

[FormVariables name=3D&exact=3DF][NAME]<=br>
[/FormVariables]

Try the example =above.

And thanks to Tom for sparki=ng a memory of a discussion I had with someone a while ago about WebDNA not= accepting a form value without a name.=C2=A0
In this case by usi=ng the ? the name becomes the value with no value passed.

Tom, you may be getting it to work on an older version =E2=80=A6 wh=at are you using ?
