I made a decorator that checks for _method query strings or POST arguments and redirects to the appropriate request verb. Check out the methods_via_query_allowed decorator here:
http://github.com/DocSavage/bloog/tree/master/handlers/restful.py It's use would be like so: import restful ... @restful.methods_via_query_allowed def post(self): pass If the current request has a _method with an overriding http verb, it'll re-route to the appropriate handler. -Bill On Oct 31, 2:32 pm, airportyh <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I want to changed the request verb of a request in the case a > parameter _method is provided, for example if a POST request comes in > with a parameter _method=PUT, I need to change the request to call the > put method of the handler.
