LinkBack URL
About LinkBacksYes, I'm someone who actually got python working :P
So, how do I get data via GET or POST? The latter is not absolutely necessary but would be nice to know too. I've only sys.argv so far, but that only returns the filename.
Thanks in advance.

This will dump the information.Code:#!/usr/bin/env python import os import sys print("Content-type: text/html") print("") print("<html>") print("<body>") print( "GET / POST Information") print("<pre>") print "Request method: " , os.environ[ 'REQUEST_METHOD' ] print "Query string: " , os.environ[ 'QUERY_STRING' ] count = 0 for line in sys.stdin: count = count + 1 print line if count > 100: break print "" print("</pre>") print("</body>") print("</html>")
QUERY_STRING is mostly for GET (a POST can have a query string too)
sys.stdin gives you the data from the POST
You then have to parse the info, splitting first on '&' to separate the fields, then on '=' to make key-value pairs.
Then you would have to un-urlencode them too.
That is the low-level way to do it. I would assume there is a CGI module that would be easier to use.

Nothing is always absolutely so.
