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.
