Hi, There was a thread a week or so ago about passing POSTed variables after authenticating, some of which will be useful -- see the archived message, suggestions and caveats at: http://zope.nipltd.com/public/lists/zope-archive.nsf/47ba74c812dbc5dd8025687 f0024bb5f/3e46f2835c820eae802568eb002c802a?OpenDocument Regarding your second question, REQUEST.QUERY_STRING works for me using Zope; maybe someone else has some pointers regarding its use in "the old bobo fashion" with which I'm not too familiar. hth, -- Marcus

I use Zope in the old bobo fashion. I have a homegrown session management class that I use. When a session is idle for a long while, I ask the user for his password again before allowing him to continue. Generally, I then use the URL from the REQUEST object and RESPONSE.redirect() to send him where he was trying to go after he reenters his password (he never got there because I gave him a session timeout screen instead). This works well except in one case. If a user submits a form that uses POST to send it's data, I am not forwarding the posted data and so I get a Zope error that a parameter is missing.

Is there a way for me to get the raw posted data and forward that too via the RESPONSE object?

A seperate small side question. I thought that all the paremeters after the "?" in an URL or a submitted form (using GET) are put into the QUERY_STRING variable within the REQUEST object. I don't see this variable there at all. Can someone explain when/where this variable is set/sent .

Thanks, Yosef
