Thanks for responding. I'll have to look into using POST. The problem
with NOT requiring string2 is that I still can't change the value.
Instead of checking if it's not there, I check for an empty string:
if cleaned["string2"] == "":
cleaned["string2"] = string1
which means an empty string goes along with POST, not the value I set.
