[hunchentoot-devel] Fwd: Problem with late calls to POST-PARAMETERS

[Peter Seibel]

I think the actual problem I had was some code that did essentially:

  (with-foo-output ((send-headers))
     (expand-template-file))

where expand-template-file calls code that uses post-parameters to get
at, well, post parameters. It's not clear how to easily turn that code
inside out so all the parameters are gathered in advance of calling
send-headers.
