CGI helper

I saw this in an old thread:

Here's the CGI.js library that I'm working on. It'll show up in the
standard distribution soon.

But no cgi.js in the distribution still. I assume that the httpd project took that over?

Here's a cgi.js helper script for anyone else still wanting to use cgi:

It fills _GET and _POST variables PHP-style.

Updated to handle  'multipart/form-data'

• cgi.js: https://gist.github.com/1745154#file_cgi.js
  
• http_utils.js: https://gist.github.com/1745154#file_http_utils.js
  

Client-side example using jquery.form.js

• form_test/index.html: https://gist.github.com/1745154#file_form_test_index.php
  
• form_test/form_test.js: https://gist.github.com/1745154#file_form_test_form_test.js
  

Server-side example that just echos the test values back in json: 

• form_test.js.cgi https://gist.github.com/1745154#file_form_test.js.cgi
  

Looks like this:

#!/usr/local/bin/jsdb
write('Content-type: application/json\r\n\r\n');

load('../js-lib/http_utils.js');
load('../js-lib/cgi.js');

var cgi       = new CGI();
var echo_form = new Object;

if ( cgi._MEDIA_TYPE == 'multipart/form-data' ) {
  echo_form.max_file_size              = cgi.MultiPartContent['MAX_FILE_SIZE'];
  echo_form.template_type              = cgi.MultiPartContent['template_type'];
  echo_form.import_text                = cgi.MultiPartContent['import_text'];
  echo_form.import_file                = cgi.MultiPartContent['import_file'];
  echo_form.import_file_requested_name = cgi.findMultiPartHeaderAttr( 'import_file', 'Content-Disposition', 'filename' );
  echo_form.import_file_content_type   = cgi.findMultiPartHeaderValue( 'import_file', 'Content-Type' );
}

writeln( JSON.stringify( echo_form ) );

 

Seriously not secure. But might be useful for internal sites.
