Teapot and POST:

I'm trying to learn how to use Teapot. The documentation is pretty clear about how to do GET: but it's thoroughly useless about how to do POST:. Is there any example for how to do POST:?

It's basically the same as GET and the others. The request object contains the url encoded form data or whatever was posted. The request object is the same as ZnRequest with a few additional methods. There is a generic at: method that can be used to access both path and queryOrFormParams.

Teapot on
	GET: 'login' -> 
		'<form method="POST">
  				User name:<br>
  				<input type="text" name="user"><br>
  				Password:<br>
  				<input type="password" name="pwd"><br>
				<input type="submit" value="Submit">
			</form>';
	POST: '/login'-> [ :req | 'Welcome ', (req at: #user) ];
	start.

Thank you very much! Now, I understand. However, it's not that obvious. Your excellent POST: example really should be in the documentation.
