[Zope3-Users] views based on request method (GET, POST, etc.)

[Jan-Wijbrand Kolman]

Hi,


Is it possible to register (browser) views based on the request method? 
E.g. to do something for GET and something else for POST requests?

Currently I do something like this (where FooView is registered as the 
default view for some interface):

class FooView(BrowserView):

   ...

   def __call__(self):
     if self.request.method = POST:
       return self.POST()
     return self.GET()

But I have the feeling this can be done more elegantly. I did notice 
something in this direction in zope/app/dav/configure.zcml, but I'm not 
sure this actually helps. It could be I overlook something very very 
obvious...

Maybe someone has an idea? Any help would be highly appreciated :-)


kind regards,
jw
