;;; Server support for NCSA's WWW Common Gateway Interface -*- Scheme -*- ;;; Copyright (c) 1995 by Olin Shivers. ;;; See http://hoohoo.ncsa.uiuc.edu/cgi/interface.html for a sort of "spec". ;;; 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 and 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 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 ;;; ? part of the URI. (Hence the CGI script will split the individual ;;; fields into argv[].) ;;; CGI interface: ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; ;;; - The URL's 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 response. ;;; Otherwise, it replies to the server, we peel off a little header ;;; that is used to construct the real header for the response. ;;; See the "spec" for further details. (URL above). ;;; ;;; 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" ;;; response. ;;; Parameters ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; ;;; path for scripts (define cgi-default-bin-path "/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/ucb:/usr/bsd:/usr/local/bin") ;;; The path handler for CGI scripts.
