- <hr>
- <h2>Specification</h2>
- For requests which have information attached after the header, such as
- HTTP POST or PUT, the information will be sent to the script on stdin.
- <p>
- The server will send <a href="http://hoohoo.ncsa.uiuc.edu/cgi/env.html#cl">CONTENT_LENGTH</a> bytes on
- this file descriptor. Remember that it will give the <a href="http://hoohoo.ncsa.uiuc.edu/cgi/env.html#ct">CONTENT_TYPE</a> of the data as well. The server is
- in no way obligated to send end-of-file after the script reads
- <code>CONTENT_LENGTH</code> bytes. </p><p>
- </p><hr>
- <h2>Example</h2>
- Let's take a form with METHOD="POST" as an example. Let's say the form
- results are 7 bytes encoded, and look like <code>a=b&b=c</code>.
- <p>
- In this case, the server will set CONTENT_LENGTH to 7 and CONTENT_TYPE
- to application/x-www-form-urlencoded. The first byte on the script's
- standard input will be "a", followed by the rest of the encoded string.</p><p>
