A while ago, I wrote something like (well, actually, it was exactly like):
from urllib import urlencode
def addRequestURL(REQUEST, url, dict = {}):
"Return an URL with REQUEST.form encoded as a query string."
newREQ = {}
# Copy REQUEST.form
for key, val in REQUEST.form.items():
newREQ[key] = val
# Overwrite with supplied values.
for key, val in dict.items():
newREQ[key] = val
return url + '?' + urlencode(newREQ)
which allows you to add new/modify existing items in the query string.
Would that help, Mr Person Who Originally Started This Thread?

What I ended up doing was following Zen's suggestion and creating an
external method that basically does (not an exact quote; it's on another
computer):
def generateForm(self):
outForm = []
for (name, value) in self.REQUEST.form:
outForm.append ('' % (name,
value)
return string.join (outForm, '\n')
It's a little more than that, but I don't have it in front of me. (this
wouldn't deal with quotes right).
I haven't run into the name="mynum:int" problem yet, but maybe that's
just luck, or maybe it's just because of my particular forms. The bad
part is that I don't know of any way to pass POST data on a redirect
(anybody know how to do this, or is this impossible?), so for now I just
have a form that's nothing but a Submit widget with all the other dat a
hidden.
You can of course change it all into GET data and just join them
together using:
'%s=%s' % (url_quote_plus(name), url_quote_plus(data))
and joinging with &, in which case you actually can do a redirect, but
presumably someone made it POST for a reason, so I'm not going to mess
with it. It's an inelegant solution and might not work for everything,
but it's all I have for now!

RE: [Zope] Form POST question (and a QUERY_STRING Q.)
Hi, There was a thread a week or so ago about passing POSTed variables after authenticating, some of which will be useful -- see the archived message, suggestions and caveats at: http://zope.nipltd.com/public/lists/zope-archive.nsf/47ba74c812dbc5dd8025687 f0024bb5f/3e46f2835c820eae802568eb002c802a?OpenDocument Regarding your second question, REQUEST.QUERY_STRING works for me using Zope; maybe someone else has some pointers regarding its use in "the old bobo fashion" with which I'm not too familiar. hth, -- Marcus > -Original Message- > From: Yosef Gold [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: 01 June 2000 12:50 > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: [Zope] Form POST question (and a QUERY_STRING Q.) > > > I use Zope in the old bobo fashion.

[Zope] Form POST question (and a QUERY_STRING Q.)
I use Zope in the old bobo fashion. I have a homegrown session management class that I use. When a session is idle for a long while, I ask the user for his password again before allowing him to continue. Generally, I then use the URL from the REQUEST object and RESPONSE.redirect() to send him where he was trying to go after he reenters his password (he never got there because I gave him a session timeout screen instead). This works well except in one case. If a user submits a form that uses POST to send it's data, I am not forwarding the posted data and so I get a Zope error that a parameter is missing. Is there a way for me to get the raw posted data and forward that too via the RESPONSE object? A seperate small side question. I thought that all the paremeters after the "?" in an URL or a submitted form (using GET) are put into the QUERY_STRING variable within the REQUEST object. I don't see this variable there at all. Can someone explain when/where this variable is set/sent .
