Hello,
This is broken since 1457e12f70 . 'self.url' does'nt have any get_vars,post_vars, only one parameter called vars. I suggest to pass all variables instead with request.vars that will encompass both get and post vars... Another possibility would be to change the self.url signature but I don't see the purpose of making the distinction between post and get vars in this case.
We used to compare `type(self.upper) == int` but the check was changed
to `isinstance(self.upper, int)`. Because bool is an instance of int but is not
the type int, the meaning of the checks changed to treat False as 0.
This patch specifically differentiates between False and 0.
- False means "no requirements for this character class".
- 0 means "exactly 0 of this character class".
Fixes#2093
I've modified redis_cache.py to be able to optionally provide an application name to RedisCache constructor. This makes possible to share cache between different web2py applications if needed.
I'm not sure if this would help someone else. I've always had this scenario where some of my web2py applications share the models, and therefore, need to share the cache (I use Redis). In the past I've asked if there was any possibility to share cache between applications, but I got no answers:

Anyway, I've noticed that I could make a simple change to redis_cache.py to achieve what I was looking for: I've added the optional argument "application" to RedisCache(). If you inspect the RedisCache() code, you will notice that previously it was forced to use current.request.application for the instance_name. With this simple change I did, it's possible to provide an application name to the RedisCache() constructor.
This has worked like a charm for my specific scenario, and I think I can say that it has backwards compatibility. Still, if this proposal isn't accepted, I would like to hear about some alternative to share cache between applications. Thanks!
