CGI module

Hello,

I've written a very basic cgi module. It parses headers, querystrings and forms as well as getting and settings cookies. It needs lots of more work, but is quite useful already. Anyway, I've tested it a little and was hoping that others might test it aswell so I can add useful stuff. I've only used PHP before and all this strong typing really hurts my brain! :-) So I could use some help..

Anyway, I'll send the module along and here's a small test program I wrote:

import cgi;

void main()
{
 Request req = new Request();
 Response res = new Response();

 if(req.serverVariable("REQUEST_METHOD") == "POST")
 {
  char[] name = req.formString("name"); // returns formfield value as string
  char[] comment = req.formString("comment");
  res.cookie("name", name, "", "", "", 0);
  res.write("<html>\n<head>\n<title>CGI-test</title>\n</head>\n");
  res.write("<body>\n");
  res.write("Hello <b>"~name~"</b><p>\n");
  res.write("You wrote:\n");
  res.write("<blockquote><b>\""~comment~"\"</b></blockquote>\n");
  res.write("<a href='cgitest.exe'>Back to form</a>");
  res.write("</body></html>");
  res.flush();
 }
 else
 {
  char[] cookie;
  try
  {
   cookie = req.cookie("name");
  }
  catch(CGIError) // cookie wasn't set!
  {
   cookie = "";
  }

  printf(res.getHeaders()~"\n\n");
  printf("<html>\n<head>\n<title>CGI-test</title>\n</head>\n");
  printf("<body>\n");
  printf("<form method='post' action='cgitest.exe'>\n");
  printf("Name: <input type='text' name='name' value='%.*s'><br>\n",
cookie);
  printf("Comment: <input type='text' name='comment'><br>\n");
  printf("<input type='submit' value='Send!'>\n");
  printf("</form></body></html");
 }
}

With apache you just put the .exe in the cgi-bin directory. Then reach it at http://localhost/cgi-bin/filename.exe "Charles Sanders" <sanders-consulting@comcast.net> skrev i meddelandet news:bg3dmn$28uh$1@digitaldaemon.com... > Yes I'd like to know also, is their instructions to setup apache with it somewhere? > > Charles > > "Carlos Santander B." <carlos8294@msn.com> wrote in message news:bg2477$tb5$1@digitaldaemon.com... > > "Mårten Ask" <majbritt37@hotmail.com> wrote in message > > news:bg0tqe$2mhm$1@digitaldaemon.com... > > | Hello, > > | > > | I've written a very basic cgi module.
