but I get a Internal Server Error (500), where is my mistake? I get work to post data to server, but with getting data is my problem..

Answer 1

One problem is in your fifth line of your second code block. Change

datas = {"ABCDEF"}

to something like

datas = { "somedata" : "ABCDEF"}

And if this is all of your cherrypy server code, you're not exposing your route. Then you have to add the

@cherrypy.expose

annotation. You can consult the docs for this as well.

Answer 2

Your datas variable is a Python set, and those are not directly serialisable to JSON. Perhaps you meant to create a dictionary or list?
