David, I couldn't find a good answer via Google, so I took a peek at publish.py and found that: req.form = util.FieldStorage(req, keep_blank_values=1) Checking out the details of FieldStorage in util.py should give you the info you need. It's pure python so fairly straight forward. Both are found in you site-packages/mod_python/ directory if mod_python installed with default options, I believe. -Jeff On 5/23/06, David Bear <David.Bear at asu.edu> wrote: > On Tue, May 23, 2006 at 08:31:04PM -0700, David Bear wrote: > > On Tue, May 23, 2006 at 11:17:45PM -0400, Graham Dumpleton wrote: > > > David Bear wrote .. > > > > >From the manual, I don't understand the following statement: > > > > ''' > > > > Since a FieldStorage can only be instantiated once per request, one > > > > must not attempt to instantiate FieldStorage when using the Publisher > > > > handler and should use Request.form instead. > > > > ''' > > > > > > > > I've been using publisher as a dispatcher to select the next psp to > > > > serve.
