POSTing to Cgi binaries

nodger · 01-23-2004, 06:54 AM

Ive almost got my cgi script to work, except I cant read the parameters using Form method="post".
I can do using method="get", however this causes the form details, (including the password) to be shown in the address bar. (an undesirable effect)

I know there is a way of doing it, help appreciated

Im using C++, RedHat 9 and Apache

"GET" sends the information along in the HTTP environment variable "QUERY_STRING". If you're using POST, you have to read the data from standard input.
