http://localhost/ticket/362 <h2 id="Background">Background</h2> <p> In the Web UI, when you rate a package it simply links to something like: </p> <p> <a class="ext-link" href="http://ckan.net/package/rate/mke-liquor-licenses?rating=3"><span class="icon">​</span>http://ckan.net/package/rate/mke-liquor-licenses?rating=3</a> </p> <p> This creates a GET request. </p> <p> This is bad because: </p> <ul><li>Search engine crawlers follow links to find pages, and in this case end up creating a rating (although we've got a robots.txt to try and avoid this) </li><li>There are occasions when we want to make a CKAN instance read-only, so we put a &lt;<a class="missing wiki">LimitExcept?</a> GET&gt; Apache instruction in. But the database may still get written for these ratings. </li><li>Best practise for web requests is for GET to be a read-only request. </li></ul> en-us http://assets.okfn.org/p/ckan/img/ckan_logo_shortname.png http://localhost/ticket/362 Trac 0.12.3 rgrp Mon, 25 Oct 2010 19:51:33 GMT http://localhost/ticket/362#comment:1 http://localhost/ticket/362#comment:1 <ul> <li><strong>owner</strong> set to <em>dread</em> </li> <li><strong>priority</strong> changed from <em>awaiting triage</em> to <em>critical</em> </li> <li><strong>milestone</strong> set to <em>ckan v1.3</em> </li> </ul> Ticket rgrp Mon, 31 Jan 2011 10:24:30 GMT http://localhost/ticket/362#comment:2 http://localhost/ticket/362#comment:2 <ul> <li><strong>priority</strong> changed from <em>critical</em> to <em>awaiting triage</em> </li> <li><strong>milestone</strong> <em>ckan-v1.3</em> deleted </li> </ul> <p> Rating are currently disabled (invisible) so moving this down. </p> Ticket thejimmyg Wed, 20 Jul 2011 15:42:44 GMT http://localhost/ticket/362#comment:3 http://localhost/ticket/362#comment:3 <ul> <li><strong>repo</strong> set to <em>ckan</em> </li> <li><strong>status</strong> changed from <em>new</em> to <em>closed</em> </li> <li><strong>theme</strong> set to <em>none</em> </li> <li><strong>resolution</strong> set to <em>invalid</em> </li> </ul> <p> This ticket is more than 6 months old so marking as invalid in line with out ticketing policy. </p> Ticket
