[Zope] <dtml-var REQUEST.get('BODY','')>

[Chui Tey]

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?
