If the point of having load_response is to do the same job that load_response
in nws did, then it should behave as load_response did.
The questions then become:
a) how did load_response deal with multiple submissions of the same cgi var, and
b) how, when examing the response array, can you identify between response(var)
representing a verbatim value, or if it represents a var which was submitted
multiple times?
The answers are that in nws, what load_response did was create response(__var)
when it encountered more than one value for var, and ensured sure that
resposne(var) was a list, with each element represented one of the submitted cgi
values.
Also to note is that when a var had no value, response(var) was an empty
string, not an empty list.
The following code within load_response would achieve this:
foreach {var elem} [var all] {
if {[info exists response(__$var)]} {
# we have seen var multiple times already, add to the list
lappend response($var) $elem
} elseif {[info exists response($var)]} {
# second occurence of var, convert response(var) list:
set response($var) [list $response($var) $elem]
set response(__$var) ""
} else {
# first time seeing this var
set response($var) $elem
}
}
So for:
> > http://localhost:8081/load_response_test.rvt?foo=bar+baz&fee=bat&foo=bak
We get:
response(fee) = bat
response(foo) = {bar baz} bak
response(__foo) =
And for
load_response_test.rvt?foo=bar+baz&fee=bat&foo=bak&faa=&fii=bar+baz&foo=bee+bii
response(fii) = bar baz
response(faa) =
response(fee) = bat
response(foo) = {bar baz} bak {bee bii}
response(__foo) =
Thoughts?
