Manage POST requests with httpuv to create a simple API with R

Question

I am trying to create a simple api using the httpuv package. The documentation says that you can use the same definition of Rook. When using the Rook package, you can simply use:

req$POST()

I was not able to figure out how to manage simple HTTP POST messages and receive their body.

Any clues?

Finally, I started to work. I found the answer lying somewhere in the opencpu package.

Just read the POST body stream using:

input <- req[["rook.input"]];

postdata <- input$read_lines();
