Forms, CGI Forms, CGI Objectives DD1335 (Lecture 5) Basic Internet Programming Spring 2010 1 / 19 Forms, CGI Forms, CGI Objectives The basics of HTML forms DD1335 (Lecture 5) Basic Internet Programming Spring 2010 1 / 19 Forms, CGI

  1. Forms, CGI POST form submission POST /response.html HTTP/1.1 Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded Content-Length: 59 ... Host: localhost someText=change+me%21&somePass=sdfdsf&theButton=click+me%21 ◮ When sending data with the POST method, the query string is sent after the HTTP empty line marking the end of the HTTP header. – So the query string is HTTP content ◮ By doing that, the POST method lets you send content with any length (e.g. upload large files) ◮ The POST query string is not visible in the browser! – You can have both GET-style and POST query strings by <form action="someScript?p1=v1&p2=v2" method="post"> DD1335 (Lecture 5) Basic Internet Programming Spring 2010 7 / 19
