Overview of HTML Forms
HTML表单概述

HTML forms use either GET or POST to send data to the server. The method attribute of the form element gives the HTTP method:
HTML表单使用GET或POST将数据发送给服务器。form元素的method标签属性给出HTTP方法：

<form action="api/values" method="post">

The default method is GET. If the form uses GET, the form data is encoded in the URI as a query string. If the form uses POST, the form data is placed in the request body. For POSTed data, the enctype attribute specifies the format of the request body:
默认方法是GET。如果form使用GET，表单数据作为查询字符串被编码到URI中。如果form使用POST，表单数据被放在请求体中。对于POST的数据，enctype标签属性会指明请求体的格式：

MIME指Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions — 多用途互联网邮件扩展，它是通过网络传递邮件消息的一个互联网标准。MIME规定了用于表示各种数据类型的符号化方法。在HTTP协议中，对HTTP消息的内容类型也采用了MIME的这种表示数据类型的方法。上述enctype标签属性意为“编码类型”，就是用来指定HTTP消息的Content-Type（内容类型）报头属性。给这个标签属性所指定的值必须是MIME对Content-Type所规定的值之一。上表中便是MIME中关于内容类型的其中两个值。更多内容请参阅MIME的有关资料 — 译者注

Part 1 of this article looks at x-www-form-urlencoded format. Part 2 describes multipart MIME.
本文的第1部分考察x-www-form-urlencoded格式。第2部分描述多部分MIME。

Sending Complex Types
发送复合类型

Typically, you will send a complex type, composed of values taken from several form controls. Consider the following model that represents a status update:
典型地，你要发送的是一个复合类型，它由几个表单控件的值所组成。考虑以下表示状态更新的一个模型：

namespace FormEncode.Models
{
    using System;
    using System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations;
    public class Update
    {
        [Required]
        [MaxLength(140)]
        public string Status { get; set; } 
        public DateTime Date { get; set; }
    }
}

Here is a Web API controller that accepts an Update object via POST.
以下是通过POST接收Update对象的一个Web API控制器。

namespace FormEncode.Controllers
{
    using FormEncode.Models;
    using System;
    using System.Collections.Generic;
    using System.Net;
    using System.Net.Http;
    using System.Web;
    using System.Web.Http; 
    public class UpdatesController : ApiController
    {
        static readonly Dictionary<Guid, Update> updates = new Dictionary<Guid, Update>(); 
        [HttpPost]
        [ActionName("Complex")]
        public HttpResponseMessage PostComplex(Update update)
        {
            if (ModelState.IsValid && update != null)
            {
                // Convert any HTML markup in the status text.
                // 转换status文本中的HTML标记。
                update.Status = HttpUtility.HtmlEncode(update.Status); 
                // Assign a new ID.
                // 赋一个新的ID。
                var id = Guid.NewGuid();
                updates[id] = update; 
                // Create a 201 response.
                // 创建一个201响应。
                var response = new HttpResponseMessage(HttpStatusCode.Created)
                {
                    Content = new StringContent(update.Status)
                };
                response.Headers.Location =
                    new Uri(Url.Link("DefaultApi", new { action = "status", id = id }));
                return response;
            }
            else
            {
                return Request.CreateResponse(HttpStatusCode.BadRequest);
            }
        } 
        [HttpGet]
        public Update Status(Guid id)
        {
            Update update;
            if (updates.TryGetValue(id, out update))
            {
                return update;
            }
            else
            {
                throw new HttpResponseException(HttpStatusCode.NotFound);
            }
        }
    }
}

This controller uses action-based routing, so the route template is "api/{controller}/{action}/{id}". The client will post the data to "/api/updates/complex".
这个控制器使用了“基于动作的路由（本系列教程的第4.1小节 — 译者注）”，因此，路由模板是“api/{controller}/{action}/{id}”。客户端会把这些数据递交给“/api/updates/complex”。

Now let’s write an HTML form for users to submit a status update.
现在，让我们编写一个用户递交状态更新的HTML表单。

<h1>Complex Type</h1>
<form id="form1" method="post" action="api/updates/complex"
    enctype="application/x-www-form-urlencoded"> 
    <div>
        <label for="status">Status</label>
    </div>
    <div>
        <input name="status" type="text" />
    </div>
    <div>
        <label for="date">Date</label>
    </div>
    <div>
        <input name="date" type="text" />
    </div>
    <div>
        <input type="submit" value="Submit" />
    </div>
</form>

Notice that the action attribute on the form is the URI of our controller action. Here is the form with some values entered in:
注意，form的action标签属性是控制器动作的URI。以下是已经输入了一些值的表单：

图5-6. 输入了一些数据的表单

When the user clicks Submit, the browser sends an HTTP request similar to the following:
当用户点击“Submit”时，浏览器发送一个类似于以下数据的HTML请求：

POST http://localhost:38899/api/updates/complex HTTP/1.1
Accept: text/html, application/xhtml+xml, */*
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; MSIE 9.0; Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; Trident/5.0)
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
Content-Length: 47 
status=Shopping+at+the+mall.&date=6%2F15%2F2012

Notice that the request body contains the form data, formatted as name/value pairs. Web API automatically converts the name/value pairs into an instance of the Update class.
注意，请求体包含了表单数据，被格式化成“名字/值”对。Web API会自动地把“名字/值”对转换成Update类的实例。

Sending Form Data via AJAX
通过AJAX发送表单数据

When a user submits a form, the browser navigates away from the current page and renders the body of the response message. That’s OK when the response is an HTML page. With a web API, however, the response body is usually either empty or contains structured data, such as JSON. In that case, it makes more sense to send the form data using an AJAX request, so that the page can process the response.
当用户递交表单时，浏览器会离开当前页面，并渲染响应消息体。当响应是HTML页面时，这没问题。然而，对于Web API，响应体通常是空的，或是如JSON那样的结构化数据。在这种情况下，用AJAX请求发送表单数据，以使页面能够处理响应，会更有意义些。

The following code shows how to post form data using jQuery.
以下代码演示如何用jQuery递交表单数据。

 <script type="text/javascript">
    $("#form1").submit(function () {
        var jqxhr = $.post(‘api/updates/complex‘, $(‘#form1‘).serialize())
            .success(function () {
                var loc = jqxhr.getResponseHeader(‘Location‘);
                var a = $(‘<a/>‘, { href: loc, text: loc });
                $(‘#message‘).html(a);
            })
            .error(function () {
                $(‘#message‘).html("Error posting the update.");
            });
        return false;
    });
</script>

The jQuery submit function replaces the form action with a new function. This overrides the default behavior of the Submit button. The serialize function serializes the form data into name/value pairs. To send the form data to the server, call $.post().
jQuery的submit函数用一个新函数替换了表单的action。它重写了Submit按钮的默认行为。serialize函数把表单数据序列化成“名字/值”对。为了将表单数据发送给服务器，调用$.post()。

When the request completes, the .success() or .error() handler displays an appropriate message to the user.
当请求完成时，.success()或.error()处理器会给用户显示一条相应的消息（见图5-7）。

图5-7. 通过AJAX发送表单数据

Sending Simple Types
发送简单类型

In the previous sections, we sent a complex type, which Web API deserialized to an instance of a model class. You can also send simple types, such as a string.
在前一小节中，我们发送的是复合类型，Web API会将其解序列化成一个模型类实例。你也可以发送简单类型，如字符串。

Before sending a simple type, consider wrapping the value in a complex type instead. This gives you the benefits of model validation on the server side, and makes it easier to extend your model if needed.
在发送简单类型之前，请考虑将值封装成复合类型。其好处是你可以在服务器端进行模型验证，并在必要时扩展模型。

The basic steps to send a simple type are the same, but there are two subtle differences. First, in the controller, you must decorate the parameter name with the FromBody attribute.
发送简单类型的基本步骤是相同的，但有两个细微的差别。第一，在控制器中，你必须用FromBody注解属性来修饰参数名。

[HttpPost]
[ActionName("Simple")]
public HttpResponseMessage PostSimple([FromBody] string value)
{
    if (value != null)
    {
        Update update = new Update()
        {
            Status = HttpUtility.HtmlEncode(value),
            Date = DateTime.UtcNow
        }; 
        var id = Guid.NewGuid();
        updates[id] = update; 
        var response = new HttpResponseMessage(HttpStatusCode.Created)
        {
            Content = new StringContent(update.Status)
        };
        response.Headers.Location =
            new Uri(Url.Link("DefaultApi", new { action = "status", id = id }));
        return response;
    }
    else
    {
        return Request.CreateResponse(HttpStatusCode.BadRequest);
    }

By default, Web API tries to get simple types from the request URI. The FromBody attribute tells Web API to read the value from the request body.
默认地，Web API试图通过请求的URI获取简单类型。FromBody注解属性告诉Web API从请求体读取这个值。

Web API reads the response body at most once, so only one parameter of an action can come from the request body. If you need to get multiple values from the request body, define a complex type.
Web API最多读取响应体一次，因此只有动作的一个参数可以获自请求体。如果需要从请求体得到多个值，需要定义复合类型。

Second, the client needs to send the value with the following format:
第二，客户端需要用以下格式发送这个值：

=value

Specifically, the name portion of the name/value pair must be empty for a simple type. Not all browsers support this for HTML forms, but you create this format in script as follows:
特别地，“名字/值”对的值部分对于简单类型必须为空。并不是所有浏览器对HTML表单都支持这种格式，但你在脚本中按下列方式创建了格式：

$.post(‘api/updates/simple‘, { "": $(‘#status1‘).val() });

Here is an example form:
以下是一个示例表单：

<h1>Simple Type</h1>
<form id="form2">
    <div>
        <label for="status">Status</label>
    </div>
    <div>
        <input id="status1" type="text" />
    </div>
    <div>
        <input type="submit" value="Submit" />
    </div>
</form>

And here is the script to submit the form value. The only difference from the previous script is the argument passed into the post function.
以下是递交表单值的脚本。与前面的脚本唯一的差别是在post函数中传递的参数。

$(‘#form2‘).submit(function () {
    var jqxhr = $.post(‘api/updates/simple‘, { "": $(‘#status1‘).val() })
        .success(function () {
            var loc = jqxhr.getResponseHeader(‘Location‘);
            var a = $(‘<a/>‘, { href: loc, text: loc });
            $(‘#message‘).html(a);
        })
        .error(function () {
            $(‘#message‘).html("Error posting the update.");
        });
    return false;
});

You can use the same approach to send an array of simple types:
可以用同样的办法发送简单类型的数组：

$.post(‘api/updates/postlist‘, { "": ["update one", "update two", "update three"] });
