Case-insensitive parameters

Oh dear, i did say i hadn't tested it didn't I - it turns
out i hadn't
read it either ! Try this instead ...

def index(*args, **kwargs):
    kwargslowercase = {}
    for k,v in kwargs.iteritems():
        kwargslowercase[str(k).lower()] = v
    #Now use kwargslowercase as a dictionary
    #of HTTP parameters all of which are lowercase
    #- just demonstrate that
    for v in kwargslowercase.itervalues():
        print v

northof40, ionel,

 Thanks for the input! I went with the **kwargs idea since,
well, it
was the first response I got and once I started travelling
down that
road, I couldn't turn back 

 I was able to get it working using the code suggested by
northof40 below.

 Thanks all for the quick response. I have to say that after
trying
out zope/plone, django and twisted, cherrypy seems like the
most solid
and intuitive way to launch web services. I'm very psyched
about the
potential.

Anyone else using cherrypy for web services other than html
servers?
