I've been a CGI programmer for 16 years. I have used python for the last 9. I currently use javascript for client-side programming. I am interested in using node.js for server-side programming.
I've done a little googling on CGI interfaces for node, but I am finding *too* much information. I am including an untested pseudo-code based on python. With that as a reference, I would welcome some javascript code which would work similarly: code follows ################################################################## #!/usr/bin/python import cgilib ## my cgi module import mvcLoader as load ## handles importing controller modules ## script loader.py (the executable 'parent' module) ## is the post action for a form which ## accepts an email address and a password as input fields named ## "email" and "password". ## loader.py has a virtual document path that has as path part 0 ## a key for the controller that will be `import'ed by the parent module. ## the post action might look like this: ## "http://localhost/cgi-bin/loader.py/auth"; if __name__=="__main__": ## instantiate the cgi object and in doing so, ## process the CGI environment cgi = cgilib.Cgi() ## print the mime-type header cgi.header('text') ## Retrieve the values POSTed for 'email' and 'password' user = cgi["email"] pwd = cgi["password"] ## Retrieve the key for the controller module which will then be imported ## by the load.controller() method controller_key = cgi[0] controller = load.controller(cgi[0]) ## And the rest of the work happens below ## in the imported controller module controller.process(user,pwd) ################################################################## The intent and mechanics of my mvcLoad module should not be relevant to this dicussion. What is relevant is allegories to cgi[keyname] and cgi[virtual_document_path_index] I hope that the example makes my question clear. I don't expect anyone to "roll their own" tutorial, but URLs to discussions on similar node interfaces would be most helpful.
