You're quite right, after messing around, I've fixed up a very simple
route that works with POST, as you suggest it would:
[...]
('/new', '/riffant/default/new'), # works
[...]
However, I still have a (hopefully) simple routing problem, the last
hurdle I hope before I update the GaE version (Thank you so much for
making it so easy to publish to gae BTW!). Here it is:
My index controller is routed thusly:
('/(.*)', '/riffant/default/index/$1'),
and it uses the request.args(0) to get a single string as an arg, like
this "http://localhost:8000/stringgoeshere
However, with the above route, it never picks up the string, here's
the controller code:
if request.args(0):
shortname = request.args(0)
try:
entry = db(db.email.shortname == shortname).select()[0]
except IndexError:
redirect(URL(r=request,f='index'))
response.title = entry.email
return dict(entry=entry,input=True)
else:
return dict(input=False)
I've added the boolean "input" variable to confirm that
request.args(0) isn't being set (input is never true).
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks,
Tris
