Webware for Python

Hi all,

I can't seem to get self.request().rawInput() (with or without the rewind=1
option) to work.

Essentually I have a webpage that calls a servlet via a form/Post and if I
then call self.writeln(self.request().rawInput()) I get back None.  Now I
know the form is sending some data, because all it does is send a hidden
variable.  Any thoughts as to what I am doing worng?

Jose

Any thoughts as to what I am doing worng? rawInput will only return a file if the data being POSTed can't be consumed by the cgi/FieldStorage code first. If you're using a typical form posting, then the content type would be application/x-www-form-urlencoded and the data from the form gets sent as encoded name value pairs. You can access them from your servlet code using self.request().field(myFormFieldName). If it's a multipart form, then you can get to the parts using self.request().fieldStorage() In either of those two cases there won't be a file available from rawInput(), it's already been processed by that point. This shouldn't be a problem though, as you should be able to access all the data through self.request().field() or self.request().fieldStorage() For content-types other than application/x-www-form-urlencoded or multipart/form-data, you can use rawInput().

Re: [Webware-discuss] rawInput does not work? From: Aaron Held <aaron@Me...> - 2003-04-28 19:36 Attachments: Message as HTML      One of the problems seems to be that Webware just sucks up all of the raw input. Is there a way to recoved this? I want to pull out the POST data directly, is there a good way? The POST data is already in FieldStorage, but I want it just the way the browser sent it.
