Hi Rich, You can certainly do that using the same URL and resource. The "triage" of the function depending on the method (render_GET, render_POST, etc) is done by the Request class. Since DirectoryLister is a resource but has overriden its "render" function, it always renders the listing (twisted.web.static, ~ line 1010 in Twisted 12.2). Your subclass can override it and process the POST method accordingly, here i added a feedback message for the user: class MyDirectoryLister(DirectoryLister): ## ... def render(self, request): if request.method == "POST": message = self.render_POST(request) else: message = "" ## Copied from the original method... request.setHeader("content-type", "text/html; charset=utf-8") if self.dirs is None: directory = os.listdir(self.path) directory.sort() else: directory = self.dirs dirs, files = self._getFilesAndDirectories(directory) tableContent = "".join(self._buildTableContent(dirs + files)) header = "Directory listing for %s" % ( cgi.escape(urllib.unquote(request.uri)),) ## ... until here. Now return the template with the message: return self.template % {"header": header, "tableContent": tableContent, "message": message} def render_POST(self, request): ## ** Process the form here, considering it's not blocking, ie not too long to write the file ** ## Return a useful message, or error... return "File uploaded" Then add a "message" field in the template, eg. in a <div>. You'll end up soon having you own DirectoryLister, as Glyph suggested :) Hope that helps. Philippe Le 4 nov. 2012 à 02:35, Rich Brown a écrit :

Folks,

Thanks again for the answers to my earlier question about overriding the DirectoryLister class. They worked perfectly. I can tweak and style the appearance as desired. One more question:

Within of the display of a directory's contents, I would like to have the ability to have a form that lets me add a file to that directory.

To do this, I added a <form method="post"> to the template of the DirectoryLister with an <input type=file ...> to specify the file and created a render_POST() function within my subclass of File.

But the render_POST() function doesn't seem to be called when I click Submit. I suspect that I'm misunderstanding the class hierarchy, but don't know what to change. Any advice?

Many thanks!
