Hello!
My platform is Windows 2000 Server (IIS) and I'm attempting to make a small CGI-program using C++.
I'm able to receive arguments through argc/argv using url something like
www.mysite.com/somename.cgi?value
But if I'm trying to receive form data the url might look something like (if using GET-method) this: www.mysite.com/somename.cgi?variable=value
If the url contains a '='-sign my program doesn't receive any arguments. I've found tutorials on the web describing how to receive form data in PERL/Unix, but not for C/Windows.
So the CGI-newbie question is: How do I receive the data if the url has '='-sign? And if this is possible at all, is there any difference if the method is POST or GET?
I'm happy to read the ******* manual if you just point me where to start..
Thanks, Eero
P.S. I hope the only possible answer isn't "Use ISAPI"..

You need to access the HTTP environment variables and decode them.
Here's an example I like that'll get you started. It's called cgi-util and has wrapper functions in it to help you out.

Ok, that wasn't very complicated. I made my own wrapper and it works like a dream. 
Thanks!

Hello.
Does anyone have a script for a good search function, that doesn't need a Database?
I've downloaded every single one I could find but they were no good.
I want someting that will search all files in the root directory for a keyword/s and then display in the results
the sentence in which the keywords were found, or similar. Like Google does.
Or, if that can't be done, is there a way to automatically update a database with the site's contents?
because I don't want to have to go and update a database everytime I make changes to my site.
Cheers.

You can always buy search services from Google. They even have an appliance which you plug into your network and it provides search results.
Also you could write a simple script in ASP.NET which uses the FileSystemWatcher component to automatically update the database when a file changes.
Apart from that, not many search engines which do not use a database.

I think you might want to check into Microsoft Index Server. Chris wrote an article that shows how this works here[^].

Does anyone know of a simple and free tool that will let me syncronise the files on my websites ftp server with my local drive (so if the file on the ftp server is newer, it downloads it to local, if the local file is newer it uploads it)
I've seen commercial and shareware offerings, but I just want something incredibly simple - it doesn't even need a gui

FrontPage will do that if you have it. If not, it would make a cool article. (I'm looking for an excuse anyway, and I haven’t' don't some sockets programming in a while. I'm missing it.)

Ack! no! I'm not letting frontpage anywhere near my site. What's the point in carefully handcrafting the HTML if it's going to decide that its way is better

My thoughts exactly. I just figured I'd let you know. You could use something like a versioning system - like CVS. But, the more I think about it, the more I want to make an article to simplify the whole process.

Is there not a free website publishing tool with Windows?
I seem to have seen an option to install something like that everytime I install Windows.

Make sure that the radio button control is set for AutoPostBack, and then confirm that you are wiring the event in your server code.
<br />
<br />
.. Button id="btnGetEvent" runat="server" AutoPostPack="True" OnClick="btnGetEvent_Click"/><br />
<br />
<br />
private void InitializeComponent(){ <br />
this.btnGetEvent.Click += new System.EventHandler(this.btnGetEvent_Click);<br />
}<br />
protected void btnGetEvent_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e) {<br />
}<br />
hope that helps

Dose Access DB support Stored Procedure as same as SQL SERVER?
|
|
|
|

You can save stored queries in Access, but it's nowhere near as robust as SQL Server.

Hi, Jeremy:
This method seems same as using SQL Server, You said it can use stored query in Access, can you give me a example how to use it. I am not familiar with Access.

I'd like to create a PREVIEW page to let users view thier entries before making the post to a database in ASP.
Just like the one's used in this forum.

you can use window.open to open a new window to show the information you entered
|

All of this will go on one page. First display the inputs in the way you will be formatting them. Then, write a form to submit the data. Loop through the request object (assuming ASP here) and write out all the form data in to hidden fields. Then add the submit button and close your form tag.

I want to realize the function for one-by-one chat room. So how to deal with message. If i use application variables, i should consider maybe there is too much one-by-one chat room open, which will need many application variables. It is not reasonable. IF I use database, it will increase the burden of database very heavily. If I use file, you should always open, read and write file, it also increase the burden of server. So is there any other possible and better method to deal with it?

Aside from the usage of an ActiveX control that would *stream* the data to all clients I think your best bet is to go with storing the data in a database. If you are concerned with the amount of data that exists within the database you can simply include a date stamp with each insert and then purge the database ever other day or so based on the date of the data.
