You raise some good issues. T2 itself does not follow rest because t2 does not expose any action. But by figuring out which record you want from the path_info it allows you to code actions that follow (at least partially) rest. Massimo On Oct 22, 5:04 am, billf <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Havin

then web2py will not be able to manage that database using DAL - you _can_ execute SQL directly using web2py's executesql() call, but... If you do not want to change your database, but want to be able to work with it, if your database server provides "views", you can use this method to re-name "us

Ugh, I have an issue. It has come to my attention that the URL validation does not conform to RFC1738 (section 2.2 is the most relevant). This is fine for the schema://host/application/controller/function part of the URL, but it causes problems in such circumstances that I ran into today. Her
