cgi_parse(3) - Linux man page

Name

cgi_parse - Parse incoming CGI data

Synopsis

#include <cgi/cgi.h>

NEOERR *cgi_parse (CGI *cgi);

Arguments

cgi - a pointer to a CGI pointer

Description

We split cgi_init into two sections, one that parses just the basics, and the second is cgi_parse. cgi_parse
is responsible for parsing the entity body of the HTTP
request. This payload is typically only sent (expected)
on POST/PUT requests, but generally this is called on
all incoming requests. This function walks the list of
registered parse callbacks (see cgi_register_parse_cb),
and if none of those matches or handles the request, it

handlers: POST w/ application/x-www-form-urlencoded
POST w/ application/form-data
PUT w/ any content type
In general, if there is no Content-Length, then
cgi_parse ignores the payload and doesn't raise an
error.

Return Value

Either data populated into files and cgi->hdf, or whatever
other side effects of your own registered callbacks.
