trac user marcus wrote on 38996729-03-11 pagehandler.php should tokenise any parameters and make them accessible via get_input() and get_parameters_for_method(). |

trac user dansari wrote on 39000092-05-29 But pagehandler.php can't "tokenise the parameters" unless it receives them - hence the change to .htaccess. (rest.php calls get_parameters_for_method() which calls get_input(), which cannot work unless the parameter is available.) |

An API method may be called as follows:
http://localhost/pg/api/rest?method=display&username=dansari&password=apples
The problem with .htaccess is that it would cause the page handler to be invoked as pagehandler.php?handler=api&page=rest, discarding the querystring entirely. services/api/rest.php actually expects the method parameters to be in the querystring, so to get this to work, we need to change the following line in .htaccess:
RewriteRule ^pg/([A-Za-z_-]+)/(.*)$
engine/handlers/pagehandler.php?handler=$1&page=$2
to this:
RewriteRule ^pg/([A-Za-z_-]+)/(.*)$
engine/handlers/pagehandler.php?handler=$1&page=$2 [QSA]
