cgi.FieldStorage and POST

Wed Jan 2 18:50:25 EST 2002

 Max,
 Here is the info you requested and some more just in case you need.
 Thanks,
 Jeff

 Here is the form:
 ------------------
 <html>
 <head><title> Module Upload</title></head>
 <body>
 <form name="upload" method="POST">
 <input type="hidden" name="a" value="b">
 <input type="text" name="c" value="d">
 <input type="submit" name="cmdUpload" value="send">
 crap
 </form>
 </body>
 </html>

 Here is my server:
 ------------------
 from BaseHTTPServer import HTTPServer
 from CGIHTTPServer import CGIHTTPRequestHandler
 import os
 print "Starting Python Web Server..."
 port = 999
 servr = HTTPServer(('', port), CGIHTTPRequestHandler)
 servr.serve_forever()

 and here is my cgi:
 ---------------------
 # Actually on CGI is required, but sys allows us to redirect stderr
 import cgi,sys
 #make sure errors go to standard out, first thing to do in script
 sys.stderr = sys.stdout
 print 'Content-type: text/html\n'

 def printFormVars(fields):
     for key in fields.keys():
         print key, "=>",fields[key].value, '<br>'

 #def getValue(fields,key):
 #    return pipes.quote(fields[key].value)

 form = cgi.FieldStorage()
 #print form.keys()

 if not form:
     #display blank form
     print '<html>'
     print '<head><title> Module Upload</title></head>'
     print '<body>'
     print '<form name="upload" method="POST">'
     print '<input type="hidden" name="a" value="b">'
     print '<input type="text" name="c" value="d">'
     print '<input type="submit" name="cmdUpload" value="send">'
     print 'crap'
     print '</form>'
     print '</body>'
     print '</html>'
 else :
     #perform action
     #REMEMBER TO SANITIZE INPUT i.e.  user = pipes.quote(form"user"].value)
     print '<html>'
     print '<head><title> Module Upload</title></head>'
     print '<body>'
     printFormVars(form)
     print '</body>'
     print '</html>'
