Hi,
I'm looking at parameter-test in the test.lisp examples. One thing I don't understand is, why do we have to recompute it in user code, instead of determining the correct content-type in initialize-instance :after and do the right thing there?
Maybe there's a reason behind this?
Thanks, -- Mac
(defun parameter-test (&key (method :get) (charset :iso-8859-1)) ....... (recompute-request-parameters :external-format (case charset (:iso-8859-1 +latin-1+) (:utf-8 +utf-8+)))
(defmethod initialize-instance :after ((request request) &rest init-args) ........ (setq post-parameters ........ (form-url-encoded-list-to-alist ;; *** we can examine headers here and pass the correct content type to form-url-encoded-list-to-alist
(defun form-url-encoded-list-to-alist (form-url-encoded-list &optional (external-format *tbnl-default-external-format*))

Hi!
I think I don't fully understand the question. Do you suggest that we actually don't need (to export) RECOMPUTE-REQUEST-PARAMETERS and that this could always be handled correctly by TBNL itself? How would you do that?
Cheers, Edi.

Hi Edi,
Sorry it was my mistake. Somehow I thought that the client would also include a "content-type" header when sending a http post or get. Apparently this is not the case.
BTW, this is my first time I post on this list, but I have been using your libraries for a while. They all come with top notch documentation. Thank you very much for the great code! Your website also contains a lot of useful lisp pointers for newbies.

Yep, unfortunately.

You're welcome... :)
