[REBOL] how can i... Re:

Hi -= usaps jeronimo =-,

there are two ways your CGI script can receive form input. Through the
input function or through system/options/cgi/query-string.

Which is used depends on whether the form submits its data using GET or
POST. Only when GET is used  the form's data becomes available in
system/options/cgi/query-string. If PUT is used you must use input.

Which request method was used can be determined by retrieving the value of
system/options/cgi/request-method.

There is a function available on www.rebol.org user contributed scripts
that automates that automates the process.

[REBOL] how can i... Re:

[allenk]

On some servers Rebol returns an empty string if there is nothing in the
query-string, however on
MS based server it returns 'none. So it is a good idea to test the
query-string before decoding.

Some people slip the following line in before decoding prso that it behaves
the same across diferent servers.
if none? system/options/cgi/query-string [system/options/cgi/query-string:
copy ""]


But there isn't much point in decoding an empty query-string anyway...

There are some good cgi examples in the www.rebol.com Howto and in the User
and Libary areas,
as well as on www.rebol.org.

Cheers,
