[Webware-devel] Processing POST and GET fields in wsgikit

[Eric R. <th...@er...>]

One of my applications is failing under wsgikit because it requires
input from both both POST and GET variables in the fields dictionary.

This is the test I'm using:

from wsgikit.webkit.wkservlet import Page

class test(Page):
    def writeBodyParts(self):
        self.writeln("""<p>Request Method: %s""" %  self.request().method())
        self.writeln("""<form method="POST" action="test.py?id=10"> <input
            name='password' /> <input type="submit" /> </form>""")
        self.writeln("""<p>Field variables:</p>""")
        self.writeln("""<pre>""")
        fields = self.request().fields()
        for field in fields:
            self.writeln("%s : %s" % (field, fields[field]))
        self.writeln("""</pre>""")

Under Webware the fields dictionary contains the values from the query
string as well as the POST content. Webware overloads cgi.FieldStorage()
and creates a new class that explicitly parses the query string even if
the HTTP request type was not GET.

It's unclear to me how this should be implemented, but I assume it has
to tie into the HTTPRequest._setupFields() function in wkrequest.py
