cgic is an ANSI C-language library for the creation of CGI-based World
Wide Web applications. For basic information about the CGI standard,
see the CGI documentation at NCSA.
cgic performs the following tasks:
* Parses form data, correcting for defective and/or inconsistent
browsers
* Transparently accepts both GET and POST form data
* Handles line breaks in form fields in a consistent manner
* Provides string, integer, floating-point, and single- and
multiple-choice functions to retrieve form data
* Provides bounds checking for numeric fields
* Loads CGI environment variables into C strings which are always
non-null
* Provides a way to capture CGI situations for replay in a debugging
environment
cgic should be compatible with any CGI-compliant server environment.
