form_params not working

[thewebsitedev]

Hi there,

Thank you for this library!

I am trying to make a post request where I need to send a couple of parameters as well. But the parameters are not being included with the request.

Working CURL request:

curl -X POST --header 'Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded' --header 'Accept: application/json' -d 'aid=...&api_token=...&user_token=...' 'https://mywebsite.com/api/subscription/list'

Not Working Request:

$request = $provider->getAuthenticatedRequest(
    'POST',
    'https://mywebsite.com/api/subscription/list',
    $existingAccessToken->getToken(),
    [
        'form_params' => [
            'aid'        => '...',
            'api_token'  => '...',
            'user_token' => $existingAccessToken->getToken()
        ]
    ]
);

Error Message:

array(4) {
  ["code"]=>
  int(400)
  ["ts"]=>
  int(1569391222)
  ["validation_errors"]=>
  array(1) {
    ["message"]=>
    string(19) "aid cannot be empty"
  }
  ["message"]=>
  string(30) "Validation errors, see details"
}

What did I miss?

I have the same issue, form_params is completely ignored!

Ok, I finally found a solution.
This library doesn't support the form_params option but only headers, body and version as you can see here:

oauth2-client/src/Tool/RequestFactory.php

Lines 75 to 86 in a68854f

	public function getRequestWithOptions($method, $uri, array $options = [])
	{
	$options = $this->parseOptions($options);
	return $this->getRequest(
	$method,
	$uri,
	$options['headers'],
	$options['body'],
	$options['version']
	);
	}

The only way is to work manually with the body option.
Here is my solution that I posted on StackOverflow
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/52718933/making-post-request-with-thephpleague-oauth2-client/60674068#60674068

$postData = [
    'date' => $date,
    'service_ids' => $serviceId,
];
$options = [
    'body' => http_build_query($postData),
    'headers' => [
        'Content-Type' => 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded',
    ],
];

$request = $this->provider->getAuthenticatedRequest("POST", $requestUrl, $token, $options);
$response = $this->provider->getParsedResponse($request);

Some said that it should work using json_encode() instead of http_build_query() and application/json in the Content-Type but I was not able to make it work that way.

Created #863 to expand on this

Closing since there is a work-around. We'll treat #863 as a feature request. Thanks!
