Right. What I meant was that Tomcat's current getParameters method was limited to extracting parameters from the query-string portion of the Request-URI, and from an application/x-www-form-urlencoded content-body for a POST request. In that sense it's a Tomcat "limitation": the convenience method getParameters *could* parse an x-www-form-urlencoded content-body supplied with a PUT request, but doesn't. But you're certainly correct that Tomcat doesn't prevent the application from doing so. And given the meaning and presumed intent of the PUT request, that's not really surprising. PUT doesn't imply server-side application processing of the content-body the way POST does. -- Michael Wojcik Micro Focus Rhetoric & Writing, Michigan State University --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
