Yes this can be done but the reason for using
@restful
def api()
def POST(parameter):
...
return locals()
is to have web2py do the mapping of args and vars in to parameter. If you
do not want this than just do:
def api():
if request.env.request_method=='POST':
...
the code is simpler has less gotchas.
