Is it possible web.py actually supports *any* verb and the browser is
the limitation? This example, using jQuery, will work even with made-
up verbs like AJAX:
<input type="button" id="button1" name="button1" value="get"
onclick="$.ajax({
type: 'GET',
url: 'ajax',
success: function(msg){
alert('Data Saved: ' + msg);
}
});"/>
<input type="button" id="button2" name="button2" value="post"
onclick="$.ajax({
type: 'POST',
url: 'ajax',
success: function(msg){
alert('Data Saved: ' + msg);
}
});"/>
<input type="button" id="button3" name="button3" value="ajax"
onclick="$.ajax({
type: 'AJAX',
url: 'ajax',
success: function(msg){
alert('Data Saved: ' + msg);
}
});"/>
--------------------------------------
class ajax:
def GET(self):
return "you got me"
def POST(self):
return "your postedme"
def AJAX(self):
return "ajax isn't a real verb... but it works"
Using made-up verbs has downsides. As I recall firefox and safari
will send anything, opera won't send anything non standard, and IE
seems random (something about changing some verbs). The good news is
it looks like all four 'support' GET/POST/PUT/DELETE.
