google app engine _method? put(self):

[kristiannissen]

How can I get the request passed on to my views when using this
middleware?

class RestHTTPMiddleware(object):
  def __init__(self, app):
    self.app = app

  def __call__(self, environ, start_response):
    request = Request(environ)
    body = StringIO.StringIO(request.body)

    method = webapp.Request(environ).get('_method', None)

    if method:
      environ['REQUEST_METHOD'] = method.upper()
      environ['wsgi.input'] = body

    return self.app(environ, start_response)

when i test :

class Spot(webapp.RequestHandler):
  def put(self):
      logging.info("hello from put %s", self.request.get("author"))

the following is logged: "spot put" but with no value.

This is how it's implemented:

def main():
  app = webapp.WSGIApplication([
    (r'/spot/new/$', Spot),
    ],
   debug=True)
  # run_wsgi_app(application)
  wsgiref.handlers.CGIHandler().run(RestHTTPMiddleware(app))

and this is the form:

<form method="post" action="/spot/new/">
<input type="hidden" name="_method" value="put" />
<input type="text" name="name" value="" />
<input type="submit" value="Save" />
</form>
