Thanks a lot. I'm glad you figured out I was talking about map.resource (and paster restcontroller), I forgot to mention it. I see, then maybe "format" would be specified to tell Pylons that the POST'ed request should be treated as XML/JSON input data. Or something like that... Anyone in the room using the "format" option against non-view actions? -- Alex twitter.com/alexconrad -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "pylons-discuss" group.
