[BUG]can not get params by application/x-www-form-urlencoded

[csy18]

when frontend pass params using application/x-www-form-urlencoded, spectree can not get params by query, is there any other ways to get it?

I just find the code using request.args and request.json to get params, however request.values or request.form not use.

Thanks for your feedback.

When you use application/x-www-form-urlencoded, the data is in the body. This is different from call GET localhost:8000/?user=hello&msg=hello&index=1. That's why you cannot get it from the request.args.

But flask provides a request.form to support this behavior, which is not a very common. Instead, sending data in a JSON format with application/json is more general. Because usually the response is also in the JSON format.

In Postman, you should use form-data.

Back to this question, of course I can detect the content type and try to get data from request.form. But I guess in this way I should store it in json instead of query. (I know the name json is not very proper, because the data can be any type, check #53)

now I need to get params by application/x-www-form-urlencoded, but I can not get it by spectree, would you like to provide this function?

Yes, it's possible. I'll try to detect the content type. So if you use application/x-www-form-urlencoded, the data will be parsed and store in json.

Let me create a PR for this.
