Is it possible to create a POST method directly from a TCL procedure. I

I think util_httppost might help. You can get that from OpenACS at
sourceforge:

explain the problem a bit better it might help.
I have a complex form on an ADP page which POSTS to a TCL proc to validate
the form data. If the da

Both have byte size limitations which are much smaller than the
limit for POST'ed data. T
One option that you could implement would be to make the post focus
go to the same page and add in a hidden form var or use referer to
check if coming from a submit / POST action. At the beginning of the
page if it is reentrant than go thru validation routine and either:
1) Repopulate with valu

Dossy,
Now why didn't I think of that. It sounds like the answer I'm looking for
and I get to lose the extra tcl file having moved all the validation code
into the ADP page!
I'd buy you a pint but were going metric.

If you want to do this in a cookie-less fashion, I think you're going to
have to go for a session based solution, where the session id is encoded
either in the path or query string of the URI.
Either should be relatively easy to support in AOLserver and

Jerry,
ACS (or aD) did develop an always forward solution.
Here is my local copy:
http://multi.zmbh.com:8500/doc/acs-templating/api/form.html
Unfortunately it is so poorly documented that you end up having to read
the
tcl source to figure out what you can do with it.
Essentially the solution is

I think it was developed separately from ACS4. It does not require a
database, so I think the whole thing is a tcl module. It is under
/web/servername/packages/acs-templating/.

note if you are using adp as initial page you can use ns_adp_parse to get html code...
hope this helps...
