cgi question (wodWebServer / wodWebServer.NET)

Could I call a cgi program by POST method?
The only example I could find in the sample file is:
User.Response.CGIExecute App.Path & MyCGI.bat
But how could I pass arguments to target program?
Thanks for your help!

Yes you can. You should read from stdin in your cgi app to retrieve request body.

Thanks for your quick response. The following is my html code which run on IIS 6.0. How could I go with wodWebServer?
[code]<html>
<head>
<title>Chat Example</title>
</head>
<body>
<script language= JavaScript >
<!--
function CheckForm ()
{
if (document.Chat.User.value == )
{
alert ( Please specify an user name! );
document.Chat.User.focus ();
}
else
document.Chat.submit ();
}
// -->
</script>
<form name= Chat action= http://localhost/cgi-bin/Chat.exe method= post >
Enter your name:
<input type= text name= User >
<input type= button value= Enter onclick= CheckForm () >
<input type= hidden name= Room value= Example >
<input type= hidden name= RefreshInterval value= 10 >
<input type= hidden name= MaxMessages value= 20 >
<input type= hidden name= Timeout value= 300 >
<input type= hidden name= ReturnFile value= / >
<input type= hidden name= StyleSheet value= Chat.ccs >
<input type= hidden name= Command value= Enter >
</form>
<script language= JavaScript >
<!--
document.Chat.User.focus ();
// -->
</script>
</body>
</html>
[/code]

Thanks for pointing out, I found out bug in wodWebServer. It should be fixed now. Can you please request update for wodWebServer, or download it again if you're evaluating it.
I didn't increate major version number yet, I will do it probably on next monday.
Your code should be as it was so far, such as [code]Private Sub Http1_RequestDone(ByVal User As WODWEBSERVERCOMLib.IWebUser)
If InStr(1, User.Request.URI, cgi-bin/Chat.exe ) Then
User.Response.CGIExecute yourcgi.exe
Else
User.Response.FileName = App.Path & \index.htm
End If
End Sub[/code]
and your CGI may look, for example, like this (C sample) [code] handle = open( output.txt , O_BINARY | O_WRONLY | O_CREAT, S_IREAD | S_IWRITE);
if (handle !=(-1))
{
lseek(handle, 0, SEEK_END);
while (gets(buff))
{
write(handle, buff, strlen(buff));
write(handle, \r\n , 2);
}
}
close(handle);
puts( Content-Type: text/html );
puts( );
printf( Done!\r\n , total);
[/code]
Let me know how it goes with new version
