:Cannot receive the message body with a PHP HttpEndpoint in Simple Message Queue (formerly MNS)

Problem description

You cannot receive the message body when you use a PHP script as an HttpEndpoint in Simple Message Queue (formerly MNS).

Problem cause

This issue occurs because the PHP script uses the $_POST[] method to retrieve the HTTP body. The $_POST[] method only accepts data submitted from a form with the following content type:

• application/x-www-form-urlencoded

However, MNS push requests only support the following three content types.

• text/xml;charset=utf-8

• text/plain;charset=utf-8

• application/json;charset=utf-8

Solution

Check your PHP code. If it uses the $_POST[] method to retrieve the HTTP body, change the code as follows.

file_get_contents("php://input");
