Hi,
How can I set the query string for the response to a request. I want to rewrite the url with a querystring to particular requests. RESPONSE.setHeader('QUERY_STRING','blah') doesn't seem to work.
AFAIK the QUERY_STRING is only meaningful in the context of a request. It identifies the method that is used to obtain the response as well as the URL. It doesn't make any sense to try to change it in the response because the client browser is just going to dump anything that comes back in the response looking like Query-String: foo whereas it would actually *do* something if the response looked like: WWW-Authenticate: Basic Please correct me if I'm wrong. Underneath is RFC spec for response header fields. RFC 2068 HTTP/1.1 January 1997 6.2 Response Header Fields The response-header fields allow the server to pass additional information about the response which cannot be placed in the Status- Line. These header fields give information about the server and about further access to the resource identified by the Request-URI. response-header = Age ; Section 14.6 | Location ; Section 14.30 | Proxy-Authenticate ; Section 14.33 | Public ; Section 14.35 | Retry-After ; Section 14.38 | Server ; Section 14.39 | Vary ; Section 14.43 | Warning ; Section 14.45 | WWW-Authenticate ; Section 14.46 Response-header field names can be extended reliably only in combination with a change in the protocol version. However, new or experimental header fields MAY be given the semantics of response- header fields if all parties in the communication recognize them to be response-header fields. Unrecognized header fields are treated as entity-header fields. -- Chris McDonough Digital Creations, Inc. Zope - http://www.zope.org
