POST vs GET

 [1/10] from: john:thousand-hills at: 1-Jul-2001 8:00


I'm kind of new to REBOL and have a question that may seem moronic to this list. I wrote a form script that is stunning in its output, compared to what it looked like from PERL. The problem is that I can't find any examples of haw to change the .r file to interact with a <FORM [ POST ] vs. [ GET ] action. Hete is the .r code that accepts the GET action: set-net [[office--thousand-hills--net] MAIL.thousand-hills.tzo.net ] cgi: make object! decode-cgi system/options/cgi/query-string What and how -do I change? John

I'm new to Rebol, but here is a script that works with the html METHOD=GET method, how should I change it to accept data from a METHOD=POST ? My reason for changing is the size limit placed upon the data by the GET method. /john set-net [[john--autx--net] MAIL.autx.net] cgi: make object! decode-cgi system/options/cgi/query-string write %output.txt reduce [ cgi/name "| " cgi/ssn "|" cgi/address "| " cgi/city "| " cgi/st "| " cgi/zip "| " cgi/phone "| " cgi/email "| " ]

Hi, try the following: content-length: 20 + load system/options/cgi/content-length read-io system/ports/input data: make string! content-length content-length data: make object! decode-cgi data /Regards Stefan

/me slaps his head So *that's* how you make the buffer the right size! Thanks :)) Chris

Thought I'd add a little footnote to my original post... - Chris -- content-length: 20 + load system/options/cgi/content-length ; content length with a little to spare post-data: make string! content-length read-io system/ports/input post-data content-length -- The value 20 was an arbitrary selection that gives some space for url-encoded characters (or something, can't quite remember) - which makes the post data longer than the content length. Depending on how many of these you expect, you may want to make that number higher.

Hello Christopher! On 11-Lug-01, you wrote: CR> The value 20 was an arbitrary selection that gives some space CR> for url-encoded characters (or something, can't quite CR> remember) - which makes the post data longer than the content CR> length. Depending on how many of these you expect, you may CR> want to make that number higher. Actually, a User-Agent posting data with a Content-Length different than the actual message's length is simply buggy. The server won't be able to respond to the request if the specified Content-Length is greater than the actual one, and could lose the extra data if it is lesser.
