viewing post requests to seaside..

sergio_101
i am writing a facebook app in seaside, and i haven't fired it up in
some time.. it looks like there is a new web server installed 'ZnZinc'
.. everything seems to be running okay, but i am having a pretty
simple issue..

i am investigating the facebook authentication system..

here's what happens:

when you hit a facebook app, it sends a request to your app (which
lives inside and iframe).. this app has some a post parameter that you
need to retrieve and decode..

while i write the tests and code for the decoding method, i would like
to just grab the post parameters via a log of requests to the image..

the next question will be..

inside my application, i will need to grab this post under certain
conditions.. how would i go about grabbing the post request inside my
app?

thanks!

You can easily access the request context through:

self requestContext request

This depends a bit on how and when this post comes in. Is it the first
request that "starts" the application?

correct.. the idea will be..

the initial request.. the one that starts the application will have
some variables sent over via POST..

if the handshake is made, and everything is cool, then the app will
let itself know that it's good to go, and proceed...

after that, everything is good, and there is no long a POST sent..

thanks!

Uh, handshake? Do you need to create some special kind of response
after the post?

sorry.. i phrased that incorrectly..

all i need to to is unwrap the request, and if it all checks out, save
the state (to session, maybe)..
