Hi there, Thanks Steve Holden for organizing this, it's a great idea. I've been using twisted for about a year now and I love it, I'm a classic case of (as you can read all over the web): "after the learning curve, you'll love Twisted" so, yeah, more learning materials would be great for those starting out. Some nice topics might include: a) Start off simple with a "twisted.web2" example (everyone "gets" http) b) then plug that into a simple sqlite database using "twisted.enterprise" c) then plug some simple usage of "twisted.pb" that does something in the backend, that gets presented to the pages being served by " twisted.web2" d) Show how using "twistd" is really convient (i.e. "twistd -ny server.tac" and "twistd -y server.tac", with some logging capability, etc) Anyways, these are just random ideas, but they are things that took me a while to get going with, but now I find them so clean and useful. Regarding Paul's post: I did something like that a few month back and had a hard time gathering
all the pieces of information ;) I still can't believe I have to parse raw response strings to handle POST ;))
You don't! This is all you need: from twisted.web2 import resource, http, http_headers CTYPE = {'content-type': http_headers.MimeType('text', 'html', {'charset':'utf-8'})} GetSomePostData(resource.PostableResource): def render(self, request): postval0 = request.args.get("val0", [""])[0] postval1 = request.args.get("val1", [""])[0] html = myhtmltemplates.comment_form_response(postval0, postval1) #for example return http.Response(200, CTYPE, html) - Alex
cheers Paul
