I'm migrating a CGI script file to Web2py and I need to be able to receive form posts from another page because the CGI script received a form posted from a webserver that *cannot *be migrated to Web2py, unfortunately. Here's the form section:
<form id="SubmitSiteForReview" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" action="https://web2pyserver/reporter/blockpage/submit_site";> ... </form> In the original CGI script, I got the form values with cgi.FieldStorage() site_submit_form = cgi.FieldStorage() site = cgi.escape(site_submit_form.getfirst('submit_url', 'Form error, no URL provided')) reason = cgi.escape(site_submit_form.getfirst('submit_reasons', 'Form error, no Reason given')) reasongiven = cgi.escape(site_submit_form.getfirst('submit_reasongiven', 'Form error, no polite reason given')) categories = cgi.escape(site_submit_form.getfirst('submit_categories', 'N/A' )) ip = cgi.escape(site_submit_form.getfirst('submit_ip', 'IP address not supplied')) So, I went to use the same code in a web2py controller: def submit_site(): import cgi siteform = cgi.FieldStorage() site = cgi.escape(siteform.getfirst('submit_url', 'Form error, no URL provided')) reason = cgi.escape(siteform.getfirst('submit_reasons', 'Form error, no Reason given')) reasongiven = cgi.escape(siteform.getfirst('submit_reasongiven', 'Form error, no polite reason given')) categories = cgi.escape(siteform.getfirst('submit_categories', 'N/A')) ip = cgi.escape(siteform.getfirst('submit_ip', 'IP address not supplied' )) return dict(site = site, reason = reason, reasongiven = reasongiven,categories = categories, ip = ip) But the default values are returned. How can web2py receive form input from a non-web2py web page? --
