hi everyone.
i am trying to do this simple? thing:
. in a test page ("/test") send some parameters to the server using POST
. when the view detects those paremeters, redirect to home ("/")
i can get this to work but only if i post the values using a
form, it does not work if i run a javascript function calling a xmlhttprequest.
i used the cookiecutter-starter and added some lines.
**__init__.py**
from pyramid.config import Configurator
def main(global_config, **settings):
""" This function returns a Pyramid WSGI application.
"""
config = Configurator(settings=settings)
config.include('pyramid_chameleon')
config.add_static_view('static', 'static', cache_max_age=0)
config.add_route('home', '/')
config.add_route('test', '/test')
config.scan()
return config.make_wsgi_app()
**views.py**
from pyramid.view import view_config
from pyramid.httpexceptions import HTTPFound,HTTPSeeOther
@view_config(route_name='home', renderer='templates/mytemplate.pt')
def my_view(request):
print("in my view")
return {'project': 'project'}
@view_config(route_name='test', renderer='templates/jg.pt')
def y_view(request):
prm_0 = request.POST.get("prm_0",None)
prm_1 = request.POST.get("prm_1",None)
if prm_0 and prm_1:
print("parameters present")
return HTTPFound(location=request.route_url("home"))
else:
print("no parameters found")
return {}
**templates/jg.pt**

<body>
using XMLHttpRequest..
<br/>
<button onclick="postit()">through xmlhttprequest</button>
<br/>
wrapped in a form...
<form method="POST">
<input type="hidden" name="prm_0" value="3455">
<input type="hidden" name="prm_1" value="6778">
<button type="submit">in-form</button>
</form>
</body>
When i press the button for the xhr i see in browser
development tool 2 requests:
. name=test, status=302, type=text,html
. name=localhost, status=200, type=xhr
i can see in the console that the view callable for home is
called (prints "in my view") but it does not render.
Now, when i press the form button i see in browser development
tools many requests, being the most important:
. name=test, status=302, type=text,html
. name=localhost, status=200, type=document
and this time it does render the home page.
I tried adjusting the xhr so the headers look like the other request..
request header sent using xhr button..

they looks the same! why is one interpreted as xhr and other as document?
i am thinking that if i get the xhr-button generated request to
be treated as document it may be rendered well, am i right? is
this it? i think i read somewhere that the page is not rendered
because of the raised exception (httpfound) but if it is so,
how or when will it work?
in stackoverflow some suggested using "render_to_response" or
"subrequests", i tried without success and looking at the
examples, none of them uses declarative style for the views,
what makes me think that the response that these options
generate can not be handled right by the renderer.
what is the correct way of accomplishing this? should i stick
to forms? why does it work but the other does not?
thanks.
