Because it's a bit ugly - my url will grow a lot, because I have to include the variable name. It's also really simple to make the product generate a PDF if the user know the ref_date and code, without playing with variable names. Obviously if it's not possible I will generate a normal querystring, no problem at all, I'm just curious to know if it's possible to have urls like in ruby on rails :) TIA, ngw Jonathan <dev101@magma.ca> ha scritto: Why don't you identify the variable data portion of the urls you are building as standard http-type arguments: eg. http://www.myweb.com/amethod?var1=val1&var2=val2... This way var1, var2 etc will be accessible to your method as entries in REQUEST.

Now I'm rewriting urls by substituting the href attribute with custom data, and everything works fine. What I'd like is having an url like: myproduct/generate/20050301/PG2, and actually that's exactly what I've got. This url will make my app generate a pdf report for the ref_date 2005/03/01 and code PG2 (ref_date and code are internal data). Zope obviously maps the url as an object, but that's not what I want: I want to parse the url and use the ref_date and code data inside a generate method. Is it possible inside Zope without mod_rewriting and similar stuff ? I don't like querystring, the resulting url would be too long and difficult to paste. I know that this is not the way Zope works ... TIA, ngw --------------------------------- Yahoo!
