In part 1 of ‘Creating a website contact page’ I discovered that in order to submit the information entered in the contact form, stored on Amazon S3, I need to create a different server to handle POST requests
The second in my series of HTTP request articles walks through how to build a very simple example of an HTTP request to get a better understanding of how they work.
Recently, I used HTML and CSS to build a contact form for a website, which I then hosted on AWS using Amazon S3. However, when the form was filled in and the submit button pressed, the information entered stayed put and an error message appeared. So… what is going on?
The answer to this problem lies in understanding HTTP requests and more specifically how S3 deals with them.
