Access URI Parameters via webapp2


I want to access the URI parameters of the given request:

http://localhost:8080/account/user?un=erik&pw=gaius

I can't make the following code work though,

main.py

app = webapp2.WSGIApplication([('/', MainPage),
                               ('/account/user', account.User)],
                              debug=True)

account.py

class User(webapp2.RequestHandler):
  def get(self, un, pw):
    self.response.headers['Content-Type'] = 'text/plain'
    self.response.write('Yey!' + un + ' ' + pw)

I think there's something wrong on my main.py, but I tried to mess with it by adding named routes and regex's, but I just kept getting 500 errors (Internal Server error).


Solution

  • class User(webapp2.RequestHandler):
      def get(self):
        un = self.request.get('un')
        pw = self.request.get('pw')
        self.response.headers['Content-Type'] = 'text/plain'
        self.response.write('Yey!' + un + ' ' + pw)
