RESTXQ: Call a Page With A Parameter That Does not Persist in the URL
by Eliot Kimber 01 Aug '15

01 Aug '15

In the context of my RESTXQ Web service that uses web:redirect, when the process is done I want to return to the original page and on that page display a message indicating that the process succeeded or failed. My initial attempt was simply to redirect to the page and use a query parameter to convey the message. The REST handler then checks for the message and if present shows it in the generated page. The problem I'm running into is that the query parameter persists in the URL so if the user refreshes the page the message is still there, even though it's no longer relevant. There must be a way to do what I want but I'm not sure what it is. Based on my research I think I can do a form POST instead of a GET but that seems kind of heavy weight. Is there a simpler/better way to achieve this effect? I didn't see anything obvious in the RESTXQ docs. Thanks, Eliot ---- Eliot Kimber, Owner Contrext, LLC http://contrext.com
