* apiv2 tests: finally fix POST as originally intendedEd Santiago2021-03-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When I originally wrote this code I had no idea what POST would look like so I did a sloppy job, deferring making it usable. Now that we have some real-world examples in place, I have a better understanding of what params look like and how to make tests more readable/maintainable. (Deferring isn't always bad: one of my early ideas was to separate params using commas; that would've been a disaster because some JSON values, such as arrays, include commas). This commit implements a better way of dealing with POST: * The main concept is still 'key=value' * When value is a JSON object (dictionary, array), it can be quoted. * Multiple params are simply separated by spaces. The 3-digit HTTP code is a prominent, readable separator between POST params and expected results. The parsing code is a little uglier, but test developers need never see that. The important thing is that writing tests is now easier. * POST params can be empty (this removes the need for a useless '') I snuck in one unrelated change: one of the newly-added tests, .NetworkSettings, was failing when run rootless (which is how I test on my setup). I made it conditional. Signed-off-by: Ed Santiago <santiago@redhat.com>
