Re: QueryStrings

I understand that a QueryString on an HTTP request is parsed by CGIDEV2.
Do that all them time. But I need a query string parsed that is stored in
a database file outside of an HTTP Request. I suppose I could set the
'QUERY_STRING' environment variable and call ZhbGetInput and see what
happens, but CGIDEV2 looks for other environment variables to be set by the
HTTP Server so it might crash, but I could be wrong.

Interesting. It is worth a shot. It might be a good way to go proceed
because it might be a trivial to modify CGIDEV2 to allow this even if it
doesn't work.

Hello gurus :)

I have climbed the mountain today to find out if there is any existing

code

or an API that will simplify parsing HTTP QueryStrings from RPG. I am
processing data and one of the fields being sent to us is a URL. I

need to

extract some information from that query string. Obviously, parsing a
query string is fairly easy until you start having URL encoded values
("%20" and the like). We need to convert those sorts of values before
putting them in the database.

I am not one that likes reinventing the wheel and I find it hard to

believe

something is out there that I just haven't found. I suppose if there

is

not such a tool, there soon will be, because I am going to have to

tackle

this issue one way or another.

Thanks,
Matt
