Hi,

I traced the WSME code and found a place [0] where it tries to get arguments from request body based on different mimetype. So looks like WSME supports only json, xml and “application/x-www-form-urlencoded”.

So my question is: Can we fix WSME to also support “text/plain” mimetype? I think the first snippet that Nikolay provided is valid from WSME standpoint.

Or if we don’t understand something in WSME philosophy then it’d nice to hear some explanations from WSME team. Will appreciate that.


Another issue that previously came across is that if we use WSME then we can’t pass arbitrary set of parameters in a url query string, as I understand they should always correspond to WSME resource structure. So, in fact, we can’t have any dynamic parameters. In our particular use case it’s very inconvenient. Hoping you could also provide some info about that: how it can be achieved or if we can just fix it.

If you need help with contribution let us know pls.

Thanks
