Could someone provide example code that shows how to do a Post from one WebDev page to another WebDev page? No matter what combinations I have tried I cannot get it to have the postData accessible. Basically a form to do a post on the first page, and the second page to get the postData for processing? ---

Yes, a form should definitely work if you want a user-submitted POST. Are you able to share any HTML you’ve tried so far? ---

``` ht = '' return {'html': ''+jy+''} ``` Is the most basic attempt I have tried. Just a form with a POST action to another page. The other page fails with a key error on the postData ---

I have a resource named `post`. `doGet` is defined as: ```python html = """ """ return {'html': html} ``` `doPost` is just: ```auto log = system.util.getLogger("webdev post") log.info(str(request["data"])) log.info(str(request["headers"])) log.info(str(request["params"])) ``` If I load the page and submit the form, then go into the logs, `request["params"]` is logged as: `{'Line': u'line1', 'Plant': u'237', 'SDate': u'asdf', 'eDate': u'asdf'}` Maybe your form URL isn’t redirecting properly? Try browser dev tools (the network tab, specifically) to make sure the POST is going to the location you expect it to. ---

You aren’t using the `request['postData']` ---

`request["postData"]` is deprecated since 2015, but is exactly the same data as `request["data"]`. In either case, `request["params"]` is the actual key you want to access the form data.
