<h1><a name="description">DESCRIPTION</a></h1> |
35 |
|
|
<p>The <code>Message::CGI::HTTP</code> module provides an object-oriented |
36 |
|
|
interface for inputs and outputs as defined by CGI specification.</p> |
37 |
|
|
<p>This module is part of manakai.</p> |

46 |
|
|
Creates and returns a new instance of HTTP CGI interface object. |

50 |

</dt> |
51 |
|
|
<dd> |
52 |
|
|
Returns the value of the meta-variable <em>$name</em>. The name |
53 |
|
|
specified by the <em>$name</em> SHOULD be a meta-variable name |
54 |
|
|
defined by a CGI specification, e.g. <code>CONTENT_TYPE</code> or |
55 |
|
|
<code>HTTP_USER_AGENT</code>. Otherwise, the result is implementation |
56 |
|
|
dependent. In an environment where meta-variables are supplied |
57 |
|
|
as envirnoment variables, specifying an environment variable |
58 |
|
|
that is not a meta-variable, such as <code>PATH</code>, results in the |
59 |
|
|
value of that environment variable. However, CGI scripts |
60 |
|
|
SHOULD NOT depend on such behavior. |
61 |

<p>This method might return <code>undef</code> when the meta-variable |

|
<dd> |
70 |
|
|
Returns list of meta variables. Note that this list might contain |
71 |
|
|
other environmental variables than CGI meta variables, since |
72 |
|
|
they cannot distinglish unless we know what is CGI meta variable |
73 |
|
|
and what is not. Unfortunately, there is no complete list of CGI |
74 |
|
|
meta variables, whilst list of standarized meta variables is available. |
75 |

</dd> |
76 |
|
|
<dd> |
77 |
|
|
<p>NOTE: Some application might use an environmental variable named |
78 |
|
|
'HTTP_HOME', which might make some confusion with CGI meta variable |
79 |
|
|
for HTTP 'Home:' header field. Fortunately, such name of HTTP |
80 |
|
|
header field is not intoroduced as far as I know.</p> |
