- Revo, all versions
- various permutations of Linux
- always using furls, and they function properly
(This is an informational discussion, not a problem to be solved.)
I encounter this time and time again. For various reasons, I'll often have to create a custom form snippet and use the post method for the data. The "parent resource" will always be the document in which it's used, e.g. if the URL is /widgets it will post to /widgets as the form action.
<form method=post" action="/widgets">
Invariably, this always loses the post data and just "reloads" the page. After much frustration on the first few projects, I (think I) figured out why it's happening
RewriteRule ^([^.]+)$ index.php?q=$1 [L,QSA]
... which passes only a get query string back to modX.*
But . . . if I do this . . . .
<form method=post" action="/widgets/">
(Note the trailing slash) it posts properly to the snippet.
Does anyone have any idea why that would be?
* You may not recognize that rewrite rule, which does not require the double-entire file system search with ! -d or ! -f, but I've reverted it to the less efficient rule in debugging this. The outcome is the same. Topic for a different discussion - unless you think "if it doesn't have a dot rewrite" would have something to do with it.
