[jira] Commented: (MODPYTHON-38) Passing req.form into psp.PSP().

["Graham Dumpleton (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

     [ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MODPYTHON-38?page=comments#action_61281 ]
     
Graham Dumpleton commented on MODPYTHON-38:
-------------------------------------------

Alternatively, and probably preferably, psp.PSP() should look explicitly
for the presence of req.form as may have been left by a prior parsing
of the form parameters. This would be better than a "form" parameter
as it would be transparent.

>         Type: Improvement

>     Reporter: Graham Dumpleton
>     Priority: Minor

>
> When calling psp.PSP() explicitly to render PSP pages, it will internally setup
> req.form if it determines that the form is accessed by the PSP page.
> Problem is that if you are wanting to trigger psp.PSP() from a publisher function
> any form parameters have already been processed and req.form created. For a
> POST request this is problematic as in doing this it will have consumed all the
> content of the request.
> This means that when the form is processed a second time by psp.PSP(), it will
> find no request content. Thus, the PSP page will only be able to make use of
> GET form parameters and not POST form parameters.
> It would be an improvement if psp.PSP() allowed a instance of util.FieldStorage
> which has previously been created to be passed in through the "form" parameter
> of the constructor. Ie.,
>     template = psp.PSP(req,filename=path,vars=settings,form=req.form)
>     template.run()
