Re: [cobalt-developers] POST problems on RAQ2

["Paul Senzee" <PABLO_CRUZ@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

That's interesting that Cobalt tech support said POST is not allowed by
CGIWrap.  I have POST cgi programs (in c++) running on the Raq2.

However, I HAVE noticed the lack of CONTENT_LENGTH in some cases, which is
extremely frustrating.  However, I wrote my own CGI library in C++, and I
jury rigged it to work anyway, and it works by checking for '\0' or EOF, I
can't remember which.  If you want a copy of that CGI library I wrote (it
ain't pretty), I can send it to you...
