Summary

get_request_var_post() is a deprecated (v1.0) alias of get_nfilter_request_var() in Cacti core (lib/html_utility.php) — note it is an alias of the non-filtered accessor, not get_request_var(). This PR replaces the remaining call site with the canonical function so behavior is preserved exactly.

Change

• get_request_var_post(...) -> get_nfilter_request_var(...)

Why not get_request_var()?

get_request_var() returns the filtered/validated value, logs a "not first been filtered" warning when log_validation is on, and writes back via set_request_var(). get_nfilter_request_var() is the true behavioral equivalent of the deprecated get_request_var_post() alias.

Validation

• php -l passes on changed file(s).
• No remaining deprecated call sites after the change.
