[google-appengine] Re: Python XForms and Google App Engine?
Hi Neal,
Yes I would recommend using self.request.body. From there you could
parse it using something like xml.etree
from xml.etree import ElementTree
form_data = ElementTree.fromstring(self.request.body)
Just a suggestion.
Cheers,
Jeff

So far, this seems the way to get the xml into Python:
data = self.request.body
# the following is just to display the xml
fixline = data.replace("<","<");
fixline = fixline.replace(">",">");
self.response.out.write(
"Post3: Python found your submitted value = " +
fixline + ""
)
Is this the "best" way to get the string of xml?

Hi Neal, I'm by no means an XForms expert, but they can be configured to send the form data to your app in a similar format to traditional HTML forms. You could also have the XForm send the data as XML and use a standard XML library to parse the input. (I'm not sure how many web browsers support XForms or the various settings...)

Or maybe my question is off-base. Maybe XForms just does a regular post to a server just like an HTML form? Ideas?
