Ah, I see.
So, by default, when you make a new "controller" in MVC mode, the
controller code file has some default functions as templates, in the format
"(<controller>-define <view> ...)", which is kind of equivalent to
"(get "/<controller>/<view>" ...)".
And the default template only works for GET requests, and nothing else.
Right?

At least that's what I see testing so far.

(2)
So, I added in the controller file something like:
"(post "/<controller>/<view>" ...)"
And I confirmed now it doesn't give me errors when I send post requests,
yay.
However, now my
  (get-from-qstr rc "some-varname")
code doesn't work. (it's blank)
Apparently, I can see the POST string in the body part. So I can
actually see what I posted with:
  (utf8->string (rc-body rc))

# above being done after loading the module "rnrs bytevectors"

But, I can't parse that string with get-from-qstr, it's just a string
that looks like "name=value&".

Is this expected behaviour? Or am I missing a function/doing something wrong?


Cheers,
