Re: HTTP server beginners questions

Here are some code snips

dcl-pr QtmhGetEnv ExtProc('QtmhGetEnv');
*n char(1024);
*n int(10) const;
*n int(10);
*n char(30) const;
*n int(10) const;
*n char(8000);
end-pr;

monitor;
envrec = *blanks;
EnvName = 'REQUEST_METHOD';
QtmhGetEnv(EnvRec : %size(EnvRec) : RecLen : EnvName :
%Len(%Trim(EnvName)) : APIErr);
method = %trim(%Subst(EnvRec : 1 : RecLen));
on-error;
endmon;


monitor;
envrec = *blanks;
EnvName = 'REQUEST_URI';
QtmhGetEnv(EnvRec : %size(EnvRec) : RecLen : EnvName :
%Len(%Trim(EnvName)) : APIErr);
uri = %trim(%Subst(EnvRec : 1 : RecLen));
on-error;
endmon;

Subject: [WEB400] HTTP server beginners questions

Hello,

I have a rather feeble level in this subject so please go easy on me.
A server instance has already been set up for me (see below), which
obviously will need modifying.

What is the meaning of setenv QIBM_CGI_LIBRARY_LIST "QTEMP;CGILIB;YAJL" ?
Surely this has nothing to do with the library list used by the program
that will run on the i?

How do I know what method (GET or POST) has been used?

Thanks!


<Directory /qsys.lib/cgilib.lib>
AddDefaultCharset UTF-8
Order Allow,Deny
Allow From all
setenv QIBM_CGI_LIBRARY_LIST "QTEMP;CGILIB;YAJL"
</Directory>



# Alias for tests
ScriptAliasMatch /myURL(.*) /qsys.lib/ CGILIB.lib/$1.pgm

# Exemple alias for a specified program :
# ScriptAlias /myURL/test /qsys.lib/ CGILIB.lib/TEST_3.pgm
