Re: Mixing GET and POST Methods

Chris,

First, ZhgGetInput automatically determines whether the
request method is GET or POST, and handles the request
transparently to you.  So, yes, you can mix GET and POST
(i.e. use GET one time; POST the next; etc.).

http://.../weblibp/webcusinq.pgm?func=vrfyacct where func=vrfyacct
should work, and a similar call to template4
( http://ctc40018:1942/cgidev2p/template4.pgm?custname=mel ) works
correctly for me (it returns the value "mel" for customer name).

I do recall having a similar problem with the last variable
not being seen by the CGI and don't remember whether 
installing the latest PTFs fixed it or whether I fixed it in
CGIDEV2.

So, I suggest that you have the latest CGIDEV2 version and that
your PTFs are up to date.

You can determine the installed CGIDEV2 version with
http://.../cgidev2p/dspversion.pgm.  If the dspversion
program is not found, you are definitely backlevel.  If it
runs, and the version is earlier than 2001-05-18 10:14:02,
you are backlevel and should download and install the 
current version from http://www.easy400.ibm.it/en 

If the CGIDEV2 version is not the problem, I suggest installing
the latest HTTP server PTFs for your OS/400 release.

I hope this helps.
