Using a helper function is a very good idea, thanks! Instead of "<path>" I
just passed a "pointer" of the controller function. Or is there a
possibility to call a controller function by (Sub)URL?
Another question. I have a REST function that looks like this: (like above
but with the "fixed" parameter "username")
@request.restful()
def XYZ():
def POST(username, *args, **vars):
return "post"
return locals()
But now it is not possible to call it like this:
def testXYZ(self):
request.env.request_method = "POST"
request.args = []
request.post_vars["username"] = "test"
response = XYZ()
self.assertEqual(...)
It always returns a "400 BAD REQUEST" Error. Do you know how this call
sould look? If I call XYZ with parameters, what parameters have to be there?
Thanks!
