A while ago, I wrote something like (well, actually, it was exactly like):

from urllib import urlencode

def addRequestURL(REQUEST, url, dict = {}):
"Return an URL with REQUEST.form encoded as a query string."
newREQ = {}
# Copy REQUEST.form
for key, val in REQUEST.form.items():
newREQ[key] = val
# Overwrite with supplied values.
for key, val in dict.items():
newREQ[key] = val
return url + '?' + urlencode(newREQ)

which allows you to add new/modify existing items in the query string.
Would that help, Mr Person Who Originally Started This Thread?

And another item from 'Sticky Tape & String Crackpot Solutions R Us':

Write an external method that calls Pythons urllib or httplib methods to 
suck in the desired URL and return it. You may be able to use
this as a replacement to redirect.

Re: [Zope] Form POST Question (and a QUERY_STRING Q.)

2000-06-01 Thread Andrew H. Chatham

> too via the RESPONSE object?

What I ended up doing was following Zen's suggestion and creating an
external method that basically does (not an exact quote; it's on another
computer):

def generateForm(self):
outForm = []
for (name, value) in self.REQUEST.form:
outForm.append ('' % (name,
value)
return string.join (outForm, '\n')

It's a little more than that, but I don't have it in front of me. (this
wouldn't deal with quotes right).

I haven't run into the name="mynum:int" problem yet, but maybe that's
just luck, or maybe it's just because of my particular forms. The bad
part is that I don't know of any way to pass POST data on a redirect
(anybody know how to do this, or is this impossible?), so for now I just
have a form that's nothing but a Submit widget with all the other dat a
hidden. 

You can of course change it all into GET data and just join them
together using:
   '%s=%s' % (url_quote_plus(name), url_quote_plus(data))
and joinging with &, in which case you actually can do a redirect, but
presumably someone made it POST for a reason, so I'm not going to mess
with it. It's an inelegant solution and might not work for everything,
but it's all I have for now!

RE: [Zope] Form POST question (and a QUERY_STRING Q.)

2000-06-01 Thread Marcus Collins

Hi,

There was a thread a week or so ago about passing POSTed variables after
authenticating, some of which will be useful -- see the archived message,
suggestions and caveats at: 

http://zope.nipltd.com/public/lists/zope-archive.nsf/47ba74c812dbc5dd8025687
f0024bb5f/3e46f2835c820eae802568eb002c802a?OpenDocument

Regarding your second question, REQUEST.QUERY_STRING works for me using
Zope; maybe someone else has some pointers regarding its use in "the old
bobo fashion" with which I'm not too familiar.

hth,
