Hi
I'm sure that this question has been answered before, but searching the archive for a couple of hours, I could not find it. Yes, I'm new to python.
I am using Zope 2.4 on Solaris.
I need to send the input from a HTML form to a remote server as an HTTP post, but I first need to validate the inputs and convert them into an XML-formatted string. I want to do this in a python script. (I'm fine doing the XML formatting.)
The "remote" post is currently of a fire-and-forget nature, but in the future might be changed to contain a response (success/failure=>post again).
KebasData is advertised to this stuff. i haven't tested the POST method thouroughly tho http://www.zope.org/Members/kedai/KebasData or check out the code and put it in externalmethod or check the howto by peterbe (iirc) about using urllib2 (google for urllib2 and zope) or use Client.py that comes with zope the choice is yours ;)
Cheers
Marc
PS: I'd be glad for recommendations of any good in depth "teaching" books on Python. I have the library references, but they are a bit brief for the un-initiated.
(a convert from PHP, where I knew how to do this)
