NAME¶
cgi_register_parse_cb - Register a parse callback
SYNOPSIS¶
#include <cgi/cgi.h>
NEOERR *cgi_register_parse_cb(CGI *cgi, const char *method, const char *ctype,
void *rock, CGI_PARSE_CB parse_cb);
ARGUMENTS¶
cgi - a CGI struct
method - the HTTP method you want to handle, or * for all
ctype - the HTTP Content-Type you want to handle, or * for all
rock - opaque data that we'll pass to your call back
DESCRIPTION¶
The ClearSilver CGI Kit has built-in functionality to handle the following
methods: GET -> doesn't have any data except query string, which is
processed for all methods POST w/ application/x-www-form-urlencoded POST w/
multipart/form-data processed as RFC2388 data into files and HDF (see
cgi_filehandle()) PUT (any type) The entire data chunk is stored as a file,
with meta data in HDF (similar to single files in RFC2388). The data is
accessible via cgi_filehandle with NULL for name. To handle other
methods/content types, you have to register your own parse function. This
isn't necessary if you aren't expecting any data, and technically HTTP only
allows data on PUT/POST requests (and presumably user defined methods). In
particular, if you want to implement XML-RPC or SOAP, you'll have to register
a callback here to grab the XML data chunk. Usually you'll want to register
POST w/ application/xml or POST w/ text/xml (you either need to register both
or register POST w/ * and check the ctype yourself, remember to
nerr_raise(CGIParseNotHandled) if you aren't handling the POST). In general,
your callback should: Find out how much data is available: l = hdf_get_value
(cgi->hdf, "CGI.ContentLength", NULL); len = atoi(l); And
read/handle all of the data using cgiwrap_read. See the builtin handlers for
how this is done. Note that cgiwrap_read is not guarunteed to return all of
the data you request (just like
fread(3)) since it might be reading of a
socket. Sorry. You should be careful when reading the data to watch for short
reads (ie, end of file) and cases where the client sends you data ad
infinitum.
