curl correctly posts data to Solr:
$ curl -v 'http://solr.example.no:12699/solr/my_coll/update?commit=true' \
--data '<add><doc><field name="key">KEY__9927.1</field><field name="value">\
{"result":0,"jobId":"9459695","jobNumber":"9927.1"}</field></doc></add>'
The solr query log says:
[20200306T111354,131] [my_coll_shard1_replica_n85] webapp=/solr path=/update params={commit=true} status=0 QTime=96
I'm trying to do the same thing with Python:
>>> import urllib.request
>>> data='<add><doc><field name="key">KEY__9927.1</field><field name="value">{"result":0,"jobId":"9459695","jobNumber":"9927.1"}</field></doc></add>'
>>> url='http://solr.example.no:12699/solr/my_coll/update?commit=true'
>>> req = urllib.request.Request(url=url, data=data.encode('utf-8'), method='POST')
>>> res = urllib.request.urlopen(req)
But now the solr query log shows that the POST data has been added to the query param string:
[20200306T112358,780] [my_coll_shard1_replica_n87] webapp=/solr path=/update params={commit=true&<add><doc><field+name="key">KEY__9927.1</field><field+name%3D"value">{"result":0,"jobId":"9459695","jobNumber":"9927.1"}</field></doc></add>} status=0 QTime=30
What is happening here?
