Zope spat the first one out: Error Type: KeyError Error Value: REQUEST['BODY'] Apparently there is no BODY in the namespace. The second case, nothing (ie. '') is returned. I looked in the source and apparently get(x,y) sets the attribute x to value y if x does not exist. The strange thing is that if I wrote a python external method with REQUEST.get('BODY',''), I can get the body returned. What would one do with an unparsed body in a html document is a moot point, but I am trying to debug a POST from another software and I wanted to see what is being done by the client. Is there anything in Python that echoes the conversation of a socket? Chui Phil Harris wrote:

Did you try

<dtml-var "REQUEST['BODY']">

or even

<dtml-var "REQUEST.get('BODY','')">

What is wrong with this bit here?

<dtml-var standard_html_header > <dtml-var REQUEST.get('BODY','') > <dtml-var standard_html_footer >

Why is it I can't display the body of a HTTP Request? I have also tried, <dtml-var "REQUEST.get('BODY','')" > but still got nothing.
