Legacy Tokens and Lasso 9

Tokens are a legacy syntax model from very early versions of the Lasso language.

They have been removed in Lasso 9 due to security and general obscelesence.

In code being converted from older versions of Lasso, token syntax will break in Lasso 9.

-Token

Token setting and output can be rewritten as follows:

[Inline: -Token.Name=Value, ...]

<a href="default.lasso?-Token.Name=Value&...">Link</a>

<form action="default.lasso" method="POST">
  <input type="hidden" name="-Token.Name" value="Value">
  ...
</form>

/* ======== Should be rewritten as follows: =========== */

[local(token_name = 'value')]
[Inline: ...]

<a href="default.lasso?token_name=[#token_name]&...">Link</a>

<form action="default.lasso" method="POST">
  <input type="hidden" name="token_name" value="[#token_name]">
  ...
</form>

[Token_Value: 'Token Name']

[Token_Value: 'Token_Name'] can be rewritten as follows:

// URL: http://dev.local/test.lasso?-token=123

web_request->param('-Token_Name') // gives 123
