;;; PROBLEMS: 
;;;   - The handlers could be made -- closed over their parameters
;;;     (e.g., root vars, etc.)

;;; This code provides a path-handler for the HTTP server that implements 
;;; a CGI interface to external programs for doing HTTP transactions.

;;; About HTML forms
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
;;; This info is in fact independent of CGI, but important to know about, 
;;; as many CGI scripts are written for responding to forms-entry in
;;; HTML browsers.
;;;
;;; The form's field data are turned into a single string, of the form
;;;     name=val&name=val
;;; where the <name> and <val> parts are URI encoded to hide their
;;; &, =, and + chars, among other things. After URI encoding, the
;;; space chars are converted to + chars, just for fun. It is important
;;; to encode the spaces this way, because the perfectly general %xx escape
;;; mechanism might be insufficiently confusing. This variant encoding is
;;; called "form-url encoding."
;;;
;;; If the form's method is POST,
;;;     Browser sends the form's field data in the entity block, e.g.,
;;;     "button=on&ans=yes". The request's Content-type: is application/
;;; 	x-www-form-urlencoded, and the request's Content-length: is the
;;; 	number of bytes in the form data.
;;;
;;; If the form's method is GET,
;;;     Browser sends the form's field data in the URL's <search> part.
;;;     (So the server will pass to the CGI script as $QUERY_STRING,
;;;     and perhaps also on in argv[]).
;;;
;;; In either case, the data is "form-url encoded" (as described above).

;;; ISINDEX queries:
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
;;; (Likewise for ISINDEX URL queries from browsers.)
;;; Browser url-form encodes the query (see above), which then becomes the
;;; ?<search> part of the URI. (Hence the CGI script will split the individual
;;; fields into argv[].)


;;; CGI interface:
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
;;; - The URL's <search> part is assigned to env var $QUERY_STRING, undecoded.
;;; - If it contains no raw "=" chars, it is split at "+" chars. The
;;;   substrings are URI decoded, and become the elts of argv[].
;;; - The CGI script is run with stdin hooked up to the socket. If it's going
;;;   to read the entity, it should read $CONTENT_LENGTH bytes worth.
;;; - A bunch of env vars are set; see below.
;;; - If the script begins with "nph-" its output is the entire reply.
;;;   Otherwise, it replies to the server, we peel off a little header
;;;   that is used to construct the real header for the reply.
;;; See the "spec" for further details.
;;;
;;; The "spec" also talks about PUT, but when I tried this on a dummy script,
;;; the NSCA httpd server generated buggy output. So I am only implementing
;;; the POST and GET ops; any other op generates a "405 Method not allowed"
;;; reply.
