Hi zopista

There was a thread last year about this subject ("POST to zope"),
and i wonder if anybody found a solution/workaround in the meantime.

PROBLEM:
Flash getURL/loadVariable with POST ist not working properly under all
browser/OS/flash combination. to me it looks like it's all
ok under explorer but not in netscape, but other people stated
differently.
I can verify that it happens with Flash 6 too. oops.

MACROMEDIA SAYS:
This happens because Flash sends the data in a GET/POST hybrid format.
If
the data were being sent using a GET request, the variables would appear
in a
query string appended to the end of the URL. Flash uses a GET server
request, but the Name/Value pairs containing the variables are sent in a
second transmission using POST. Although this causes the servlet to
trigger
the doGet() method, the variables are still available in the server
request.

I'M USING:
ZOPE 2.5 on RedHat 7.1 behind Apache

QUESTION:
How could i see the POST vars when the clients says GET but does
POST. Of course i could switch to GET but that would be too easy ;-)


take care
