|
---|
5 |
|
---|
6 | For requests which have information attached after the header, such as
|
---|
7 | HTTP POST or PUT, the information will be sent to the script on stdin.
|
---|
8 | <p>
|
---|
9 |
|
---|
10 | The server will send <a href="http://hoohoo.ncsa.uiuc.edu/cgi/env.html#cl">CONTENT_LENGTH</a> bytes on
|
---|
11 | this file descriptor. Remember that it will give the <a href="http://hoohoo.ncsa.uiuc.edu/cgi/env.html#ct">CONTENT_TYPE</a> of the data as well. The server is
|
---|
12 | in no way obligated to send end-of-file after the script reads
|
---|
13 | <code>CONTENT_LENGTH</code> bytes. </p><p>
|
---|
14 | </p><hr>
|
---|
15 | <h2>Example</h2>
|
---|
16 |
|
---|
17 | Let's take a form with METHOD="POST" as an example. Let's say the form
|
---|
18 | results are 7 bytes encoded, and look like <code>a=b&b=c</code>.
|
---|
19 | <p>
|
---|
20 |
|
---|
21 | In this case, the server will set CONTENT_LENGTH to 7 and CONTENT_TYPE
|
---|
22 | to application/x-www-form-urlencoded. The first byte on the script's
|
---|
23 | standard input will be "a", followed by the rest of the encoded string.</p><p>
