Hi Fionn, we need to break this bug/feature down a bit. POST and GET parameters being merged into the request fields is actually a WebKit quirk that was added in version 0.6 already (http://www.webwareforpython.org/WebKit/Docs/RelNotes-0.6.html) and is sometimes useful so I don't want to change that. However, the WebKit behavior has been that on merging, POST parameters would actually *overwrite* GET parameters with the same name, not append to them. I.e. if "id=23" is in the URL and "id=42" is a POST parameter, then request.field('id') should be just '42', not '23' or ['42', '23']. So what you are reporting here looks like a bug. I haven't really looked into this so far, but a quick tests showed that this bug happens only with Python 2.6 or newer. Can you confirm? When upgrading to Webware 1.x, did you also upgrade the Python version? -- Christoph ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ AppSumo Presents a FREE Video for the SourceForge Community by Eric Ries, the creator of the Lean Startup Methodology on "Lean Startup Secrets Revealed."
