Thanks. I don't see anything in here that indicates it subjugates the
standard main function in C++. In fact, it says to create a main
function. So that's great. (cgic makes you use cgimain which it calls
from within its own main function, and it assumes you'll be doing HTML
forms processing. I'm glad to see these guys left control in the hands
of the programmer - makes it more versatile.)

 

I haven't looked through which classes are used for what yet, but I can
get that pretty quickly, I think.

 

Have you tried linking this in with Visual Studio? Windows tools are
typically - peculiar in their support of ANSI standards. I didn't see
anything in there about how to make it work in Visual Studio. I'm seeing
some stuff on google about linking to  a static library, rather than
dynamic, but I'm also seeing issues with using the included windows
project file in the newer visual studio. Without it, there appears to be
issues with setting up the environment. Curios that there isn't any link
here on setting this up to work on IIS, Windows, Visual Studio. It looks
like it's going to be hit-or-miss in that regard.

I was interested in doing the same thing. I know c++ reasonably well so
I just looked at the code I could find via google.

Cgicc can parse request data without generating any HTML. You just don't
use the html portions of the library.

Their documentation is here

I was reading an old book on cgic (not cgicc) and they overwrite the
main routine. Can someone give me a link to the documentation where I
would find out if cgicc does the same. My main interest isn't so much
processing HTML forms, but for pulling out the GET data for manipulating
applications running on the server and sending back JSON data. (This is
intended for use as a maintenance utility for another application
written in C, and the GET data will identify which of a couple dozen
programs are to be gracefully shutdown, for example.) 

 

I really don't care about any other processing, just the GET data, and
I'm pretty sure that wouldn't be too difficult to do without the
overhead of any library, but figured I'd 1) Leave room for growth, 2)
not re-invent the wheel.

 

The web page says cgicc "documentation can be found at." Not "at:
http://some.web-address.com.";, just "at." If someone could just point me
towards the documentation, I've brought my own reading glasses and have
plenty of hot tea. Any insights or experiences are certainly also
welcome.
