Hi,

I'm trying to run a straight C compiled cgi program. It runs okay but the url isn't broken down as command line arguments and
made available to main. So in httpd://file.cgi?A=B, A=B doesn't appear in main(int argc, char **argv)

I guess this is because I'm not using CGI Handler but I can't figure out which one to use for a binary file.

Thanks.

Operating System: Puppy 5.01

That's true. URL parameters are passed through to the CGI application via environment variables. Look at the QUERY_STRING variable.

A nice library for creating CGI applications in C is cgic [www.boutell.com].

Thanks. I'll take a look at it.
