[Zope] change properties in external methods (was get properties ....)

[Elena Schulz]

Hi Tino,

I am interested in your work as I could use it for a solution for the
"busy-feedback" (recent dzug-list-posting) I guess.
We had a short correspondence about that and you suggested to do it via an
automatic-redirect. There the problem was the transfer of lots of formdata
via url.

At the moment I can transfer objects with all properties without any change
on the target side. Its only quite slow as I need a http-request for any
property.

-- many thanks for your replies, Elena
