[Twisted-web] nevow livepage - where are my parameters (request.args) gone?

[Peter Arwanitis]

Hi,

OK, the riddle of the lost parameters is solved

part of my fault... cause I'm not able to render my nevow Page with 
plain-html (problem:1), Ive taken the the shortcut via hook in 
livepage.goingLive and
client.send(set('idOfMyDiv', plainHTMLasString), eol)

Fact is: in goingLive my parameters appended to the url (and visible in 
browser!) are LOST!!!

hacking down to liveglue.js they are abviously cut-of and trashed

my solution (pragmatic and without knowledge about sense and further 
sideeffects):

/* hacking liveglue.js * /
...
/* route parameter to server site */
var queryParam = '';
if (queryParamIndex != -1) {
  queryParam = '&' + base_url.substring(queryParamIndex+1, base_url.length);
  base_url = base_url.substring(0, queryParamIndex);
 }
...
function connect(outputNum) {
...
  /* building the url in connect() --> appending extracted parameter if any
     mysite/livepage_client/output?outputNum=0&when=20051010
*/
  var U = base_url + nevow_clientHandleId + "/output?outputNum=" + 
outputNum + queryParam;
...

now I can retrieve my parameters during goingLive (problem:2) solved

any hints for a better (existing) solution???
recommendations for (problem:1)?

bye
Peter
