web2py understands POST requests that are either - multipart/something - application/json
that is coming from the content-type specified in the request itself. web2py behaves accordingly to the content-type.......json strings are unicode by default, so I really don't see the issue on having first_name=u'something' .... maybe the issue at hand is that the helper you'd like to use doesn't understand unicode "automagically", but that's another matter... I think the issue at hand is that urlencode from urllib doesn't take unicode values as good ones........ maybe raise an issue on github: I see that unicode values in rewrite, request.args and such have already a few issues opened on them: this one for the vars should be in the same "family" fix. -- Resources: - http://web2py.com - http://web2py.com/book (Documentation) - http://github.com/web2py/web2py (Source code) - https://code.google.com/p/web2py/issues/list (Report Issues) --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
