multiple request.args should reach the endpoint (?a=1&a=2 => a=[1,2])

[llonchj]

When calling something like /delete/project?version=1&version=2, version parameter is 1 and 2 is omitted.

@route("/<pk>", Http.DELETE)
def delete(self, request, pk, version=None, **kwargs):
    #version is 1 and should be a [1, 2]
    pass

Does this make any sense?

I have fixed this in llonchj/corepost@bee483edcaff9ca870b9f4f558476e97e83b3c68 but need some help with the freshen tests. Please, can you write one for me?

P.S. I will pull request the branch when tests are written

I would disagree with this. Instead of checking for a single value now anywhere you can get a list. I would say the proper behavior would be to just take the last value (2) and ignore the first one instead.

what do you think?

Multiple parameters are accepted by the majority of the RESTful libraries. It is part of the standard and the accepted behavior.

OK, but does that mean that now everywhere in your code you need to do a "is parameter a list" check? I can't say I like it. All the user has to do is send multiple params into a method that does not support it and get a 500 error as a result.

JAX-RS in the Java world does not support this for example.

Maybe a better option would be to explicitly mark which parameters can be a list and in that case we would ALWAYS pass them as a list (e.g. [1],[2],[1,2]) for consistency?

But on the other side, Twisted's request.args or python cgi.parse return lists. Not that I am saying corepost should keep every single parameter as a list (like python/twisted), but, when multiple arguments are present in the URL, information should not be missed.

Yes, I will love a schema (like in django-tastypie).

could you point me to a good resource on django tastypie schemas? I always like to pinch from the best :-)

[llonchj]

I think the tastypie schema will be hard to implement in CorePost because of the design. But here's the resources: https://django-tastypie.readthedocs.org/en/latest/interacting.html?highlight=schema#inspecting-the-resource-s-schema

Thanks!
