Subject: RE: [wsrp-wsia] [I#165] The Consumer should not strip the namespa ceprefix from f orm parameters
Carsten - if I'm not mistaken, the form name does not pass in the POST data. -----Original Message----- From: Carsten Leue [mailto:CLEUE@de.ibm.com] Sent: Thu, December 19, 2002 10:32 To: 'wsrp-wsia@lists.oasis-open.org' Subject: RE: [wsrp-wsia] [I#165] The Consumer should not strip the namespa ce prefix from f orm parameters Hi Gil. I think that you are right, encoding of the parameter names in a form is not necessary. However we will need to namespace the form name. The paragraph on stripping the namespace from that name when making a WSRP call still holds true.

This is because the deciding attribute for form controls is "name", which does not have to be unique, and not "id", which does (see http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/interact/forms.html#h-17.2). Thus, Producers doesn't need to prefix anything to form names, and thus it is pointless for the Consumer to strip namespaces. We should also stress this fact in the spec.

It now means that the Consumer has to understand the uploadData and recognize one of the mime types, specifically application/x-www-form-urlencoded. This is definitely not generic. 2. The Producer will anyway have to understand namespace prefixing, including using it in JavaScript client code, so its not that big of a chore for the Producer to do this (for example, by adding another form parameter which includes the prefix code)."
