Hello, I'm trying to implement something very simple without using a Python WebFramework and I need some advice. I want to send a comma delimited string from the client to a server-side Python script. My initial plan was to use a JavaScript function (see below) called "makerequest" that creates a XMLHttpRequest object and GETs the output from a Python script. I've used this function before to field requests (in those cases the parameter "data" passed in the XMLHttpRequest.send() method is null). So I thought I could just pass some data in and be able to retrieve it with Python. I'm not sure how to do this. I've used forms with cgi/Python before. However, I don't want to use a form here. I want Python to handle the "data" variable being passed without looking for field names using .FieldStorage(). Can that be done?
Maybe making a request is not the quickest route to do what I want. Ideas? function makerequest(serverPage,objID,data) { var obj = document.getElementById(objID); xmlhttp.open("GET",serverPage); xmlhttp.onreadystatechange = function() { if(xmlhttp.readyState == 4 && xmlhttp.status == 200) { obj.innerHTML = xmlhttp.responseText; } } xmlhttp.send(data); } -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Simple-CGI-request-and-Python-reply-tp22952274p22952274.html Sent from the Python - python-list mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
