[Zope] From POST to GET

[Peter Bengtsson]

No Tino. I must unfortunatly prove you wrong on that.
Is it necessarily the ZServer doing that magic? My WAP site was working fine
in webbrowsers and a few other WAP Gateways until I started using UK
Vodafone WAP Gateway.
What happened was that I ended up at a page with this URL page?var=value but
using <dtml-var REQUEST> the var variable was not at all available.
