Is it considered kosher for controller functions to add their own custom data to the request object? I didn't see anything in the docs about this. For instance if a controller wants to do request.some_stuff = 123, is that "allowed"?
The reason for this is that I have some library functions called by controllers that may need access to information that could be in the request, or they can fall back to a default. I would prefer not to make these library functions accept this extra information as a parameter, but rather have them look to see if it is available in the current request, and use it if so, otherwise fall back to the default. This information would not normally be available on the request object, but is derived from request.args, so the controller function could store this "processed" version of args on the request object for use by other functions later. (I don't want to store it in session because it really is supposed to be request-local and shouldn't persist from one request to another.) -- 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.
