(\ex{REQUEST\_METHOD}, \ex{QUERY\_STRING} (``GET'' script), decoded strings, using the environment variables set by the server
\ex{CONTENT\_LENGTH} (``POST'' script)). So a query string like (\ex{REQUEST\_METHOD}, \ex{QUERY\_STRING} (for a \ex{GET} request),
\codex{button=on\&\ob{}reply=Oh,\ob{}\%20yes} becomes alist \ex{CONTENT\_LENGTH} (for a \ex{POST} request)). So a query string
\codex{(("button" . "on") ("reply" . "Oh, yes"))} This only works for like \codex{button=on\&\ob{}reply=Oh,\ob{}\%20yes} becomes an alist
GET and POST methods. \codex{(("button" . "on") ("reply" . "Oh, yes"))}.
