This is the WebOb integration for YAFOWIL.

This package registers a global preprocessor for yafowil. It wraps the any WebOb BaseRequest derived request instance.

Special behaviors:

All WebOb params - available at WebObs request in a so called MultiDict - are returned in MultiDicts mixed flavor. This is how Yafowil expects them. IOW: If a query-key exists several times the values are aggregated in a list. If a query-key exists one time, the value is returned as string.

File Uploads provided by WebOb as cgi.FieldStorage objects are turned into Dicts with the keys:

file

file-like object to read data from

filename

submitted name of the upload

mimetype

type of the upload

headers

all headers

original

keeps the original cgi.FieldStorage object
