GET vs. POST

I have The Official Guide and within there is a small function which is supposed to be able to detect whether GET or POST is used and then access the correct system variable path to receive the info which was submitted by the form. I don't think it works. Anyone else try this code and if so, does it work for you? My cgi works great with GET but seems to die towards the end of the app process using GET because of the length of the string being submitted becomes larger and larger as you proceed. So I wanted to switch to POST. Thanks, Jeff Rubin, CTO & Co-Founder Audiopia Shutup and Listen... http://www.audiopia.com also check out my personal site Brainbyte! http://www.brainbyte.com

I cant imagine why it matters whether input is GET or POST... either way you want to pick the values out of a query string... in Perl, the CGI.pm module allows you to get at key-value pairs regardless of whether the data was sent via GET or POST, and I for one have never cared how it came as long as I got it. --- On Sat, 2 Sep 2000 22:49:02 webmaster wrote:

GET in Rebol is like you describe however, POST comes a string which you have to parse which is really a hassle, as far as my experience recently showed. I had to parse everything and do all kinds of little things to get the thing into a block with single values I could reference. At 12:14 PM 9/5/00 -0700, you wrote:
