This is the code written to accompany Thomas Boutell's book "CGI
|
|
Programming in C & Perl". It provides a library of routines for use
|
|
in CGI programming, and unlike cgilib-0.5, this library handles the
|
|
"multipart/form-data" encoding required to use the FILE input control
|
|
type as defined in the HTML specification.

|
NOTE: It should be aware that there were a few developer visible changes
|
|
made from Thomas Boutell's original distribution when integrating it
|
|
with the NetBSD packages environment. They are:
|
|
|
|
1) Instead of being yet another source file which is used in building
|
|
the application, the package have been converted totally into a
|
|
library format. This library is linked using "-lcgic".
|
|
2) As a result of the first item, the developer no longer writes their
|
|
entry point under the function name of cgiMain(). Instead, the
|
|
user will provide their own main(), and will need to call cgiInit()
|
|
before any other cgic function is called.
