Reading POST-Request-Parameter-Values from WebDynPro now possible?
Hello,
in the past I always was disappointed that in WebDynPro there was no way to read POST-request-parameter-values directly after the call of a WebDynPro-Application.
The only (documented) way to read / transfer request-data into an WebDynPro-application was via "URL query string parameters" in the request URL.
The last week I forgot this restriction. I called my WebDynPro-application using a POST-Request-Parameter (cookie_guid) instead of an URL-parameter.
After noticing my mistake, I was really surprised that the WebDynPro could read / shows the the POST-Request-Value.
I didn't make any changes in the coding of my WebDynPro-Application (zvis_show_sso_cookie).
After this cognition I built the following simple HTML-formular to analyse the behavior of the WebyDynPro by calling it with an URL-Parameter (cookie_guid=Url-GUID) together with the POST-Parameter (cookie_guid = Post-Value-GUID).
After calling the WebyDynPro it reads / shows the "POST-Value" of the request !!!
(Remark: If I made a simple refresh or type directly the URL "http://hg10762.vis-extranet.de:1080/sap/bc/webdynpro/sap/zvis_show_sso_cookie?sap-language=DE&cookie_guid=Url-GUID" in the browser, the same webdynpro reads / shows the URL-Parameter-Value).

</td>

My questions:
I there any documentation that describes the behavior of WebDynPro after calling it by using POST-Parameter values?
I believe in the past it wasn't possible to read POST-request-parameter-values in WD. Has SAP changed the functionality?
Is the behavior I described in my example above mandatory?
