I have a web app on GAE written in Go that performs some calculations for the user. The website communicates with the server through a simple HTTP Post. I want to let the user be able to share a link to the result they obtained without changing much in my Go code.
Is there some way to encode a HTTP Post message as a website url that would execute on the app engine as if the user sent the Post from the website?
How would the code for a button that would copy the proper link to user’s clipboard (noting that the field values can change between page being loaded and user wanting the link, so hard-coding the values through GAE parser wouldn’t work).
Use a GET instead of a POST. That’s the point of GET : it generates a bookmarkable URL.
GET should always be used for idempotent operations, unless the sent data contain secret information or are too large to be put into GET parameters.
