Re: Using _POST array to route to correct controller/action

I had already done the google search and read cake's documentation.
Thanks for search link though.

Perhaps its how I interpret what the routes do.
I think I understand how the routes work. Correct me if I'm wrong. The
default routing is using the htaccess mod_rewrite.

Using the blog tutuorial example. If I wanted to go to the controller
posts->add($id) I would use this as my url
www.example.net/posts/add/5 (for $id=5).

If I wanted to do something different, such as whenever I get
www.example.net/posts/5. I could write some route connection code to
translate it to posts/add/5. This is how I understand the cake's
routes.

However, this is where I have the disconnect. The external website
that calls my cake code will alway just call www.example.net/posts.
It will never call www.example.net/posts/add/5, www.example.net/posts/add,
or www.example.net/posts/5. It would store the action & id in the
$_POST array. I believe the only way that I can do this is to have the
posts->index() (default controller action) and parse the $_POSTS and
then recall the dispatcher with a posts/add/5 as url.

Being new with this framework. I just wanted to know if I'm missing
something basic that handles this workaround.
