Hi Andrew,

Let me answer your second question first -- as will bear insight to my answer of the second question. I am using dancer instead of dancer2 because I am too clueless to know any better. I will look to migrate to dancer2 although I am not sure what that entails -- hope my kids and wife remember what I look like.

About how I call it. I am confused here as well. I am merely typing it in the url. I am trying to create a new user login page that will ultimately be a link from my home page.  So I will need for it to work as mydomain.com/user. I am afraid I don't know how else to "call" it and confess that I don't completely understand what "call" it means. I just don't want to use GET as it makes the info appears in the url.

Thanks again

Hi Richard

How are you calling it? You can't just call it by putting the url in your browser since the browser will be making a GET request. I'd use curl as described here

http://superuser.com/questions/149329/what-is-the-curl-command-line-syntax-to-do-a-post-request

(or in the 'man curl' page if you read it slowly:)

Next question - why are you using Dancer instead of Dancer2?

Dancer2 is a redesign to make things more easy/powerful/enjoyable...

Andrew

When I do sub below as 'get' it works but when I replace 'get' with 'post' I get: --2015-08-06 13:52:05-- http://0.0.0.0:3000/user Connecting to 0.0.0.0:3000... connected.
