How can I process a POST request in Webmachine?

Question

Can any soul show me how to write or tell me a simple Webmachine request to handle a POST request; for example something like:

<form name="input" action="yada yada" method="post"> Username: <input type="text" name="fname" /> <input type="submit" value="Submit" /> </form>

Thank you very much,

Lrp

Given your webmachine resource, you guarantee that the "POST" atom is contained in the list of allowed methods:

 allowed_methods(ReqData, Context) -> {['HEAD', 'GET', 'PUT', 'DELETE', 'POST'], ReqData, Context}.

Then you can process your PUT request in the following function:

 process_post(ReqData, Context) -> ... {true, Context}.
