i'm guessing this has something to do with the default line terminators that
medusa is looking for before it senses that a data buffer is ready to be
processed. it seems like the url encoded ones request seem to have different
line terminators. you can adjust this the fly by using the set_terminator()
func on the dispatcher. set_terminator can look for either a set of input
chars, or you can adjust the data buffers to fire off for processing on
integer sizes.
hope that helps

I'm going to try to make a long story short... and the story isn't even
over... but I'm getting close. One of our clients is a 'multimedia'
company and we're working with a group there that consists mostly
of artists and designers who use tools like photoshop and
macromedia director. They came to us recently with a project
for which they were *going* to use Macromedia Multiuser Server
but the complexity of their application is significant..
long story short... I've sold them on the concept of using Zope as the
'media/personality server' for this application. They will use
Director (which can post stuff to an URL and can also parse
XML). So.. I'm building a framework that permits them to use their
favorite tools, but I get to use *my* favorite tool too. ;-) The
problem: Director is not a browser. There is no 'view source'. But (I
think to myself) this is a great chance to use tcpwatch, which I've
never used before. It's a little tricky since my favorite client
machine is a Macintosh, and well.. lets just say that Tkinter for the
mac is not perfect... not to mention there is no thread module.. but
I do have a workaround that's useful (since I run Zope on a FreeBSD
server, I just use tcpwatch on FreeBSD and either MI/X, or VirtualPC
with Linux for my X server.. ). I noticed however that when I did a
'POST' the URL encoded arguments were lost. I found that the
proxy_receiver handle_close method was never called.. so that anything
in a 'last line' that didn't end in '\n' was lost. I added the
following patch that shows this... but why is handle_close not called?
I can only guess that the socket is not being properly closed
somehow. I use lib/python/ZPublisher/Client.py to test calls to Zope
and it works fine, but the asyncore/asynchat stuff never calls
handle_close for proxy_receiver.
Anyway... here's the patch: Comments welcome!
