Two GETs instead of a GET and a POST...?

Hi, folks –This helpful file-upload example …http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Web_Scripts_Examples#File_Upload… has an upload.get.desc.xml description and and an upload.post.desc.xml: I think this means that the first one requests the upload form, and the second, specified as the action for the upload

Hi,

You can use "pizzaSearchForm.get.desc.xml" and "pizzaSearchResults.get.desc.xml". It is not compulsary to use post.

With Get URLs you tend to put parameters on the URL so you could differentiate the two e.g. have pizzaSearchForm with no parmeters will show the form and pizzaSearchForm&query=ABC which runs the query and returns results.

Thanks for the prompt replies! It sounds like a web script is defined by its name and its method, so one cannot have more than one name/method pair. This seems to mean that designing a family of web scripts to work together could address this issue, or that careful design of one web script may eliminate the need for the second GET. Give me a shout if I've misunderstood either of you.
