Hi all,

is it possible for %fdat to accumulate parameters passed thru POST and GET
methods at the same time?
Example:

i have a mod_rewrite rule, like that:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^/([0-9a-fA-F]+)/(.*)$ /$2?sid=$1 [L,PT,NS,QSA]

That way, an url in the form http://blah.tld/223453af23/blah.epl?test=blah
gets translated to http://blah.tld/blah.epl?session=223453af23&test=blah.

i have an embperl page calling another embperl page, with the parameters
passed through FORM METHOD="POST". when the method is POST, the sid from
the rewrite rule is ignored, when it is GET - it works...
the question is - is there a way that the above will work when the
method is POST, in other words is there a way to mix both POST and GET
parameters in one page at the same time?

i am not using %udat, because i don't want cookies, rather i'd do
the session handling myself, so I can stick it in the url;-)

excuse my english, it is not my native language;-)

TIA,
-tacho

This works -> put the session into ENVIRONMENT variable

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^(.*)/([0123456789]+)/([0123456789]+)/(.*) $1/$4 [E=UID:$2,E=SID:$3]

yes, i have thought of that, and it indeed works, but I would like to
pass it through the GET interface, if at all possible. if it turns out
impossible - then my choice would be a RewriteRule similar to yours above...
anyway, thanks

Currently Embperl cannot join the values from POST and GET together (it's on
the TODO list). On a POST request you see only the posted data in %fdat.
Either do something like

$ENV{QUERY_STRING} =~ /session=(.*?)(&|$)/ ;

to get your session info directly out of the query_info or use the solution
with putting session info in an evironment variable
