[Zope] Form POST question (and a QUERY_STRING Q.)

[Marcus Collins]

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:

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,
