GET and POST data in same request

2010-12-02 Thread Larry 
Hello,

I need to have an apache mod_rewrite pass a request ( which contains
POST data ) along to my servlet with some GET parameters.

I think when Tomcat sees the GET params, it invokes my servlet's doGet
( which annihilates my POST data ).

I need to be able to access both the GET data from the request URL and
the POST data from the body.

Is this possible? Maybe its not tomcat's fault ;)

Any insight is welcome, thanks.

GET and POST are HTTP verbs/operations.

It is impossible to have a combo GET/POST.  Which ever verb is specified in the 
HTTP headers is what will control whether doGet or doPost is called.

You are correct that GET and POST reference data differently, however they are 
actions and not areas of data in an HTTP request.

Regards,

Justin

The user agent needs to send this request using POST. Tomcat will merge
parameters from the request body with those in the URL as per the rules
in the Servlet spec.

If the response body is being dropped then the user agent is either
using GET or using POST and failing to set content type required for
Tomcat to parse the request body. Again, this is defined in the Servlet
spec.
